The Old Stone Age. A Study of Palaeolithic Times
III Session of the Pan African Congress on Prehistory Held in Livingstone in July, 1955
The Early Iron Age Site at Micklemoor Hill West Harling, Norfolk, and its Pottery
The Iron Age settlement on Micklemoor Hill, West Harling, (Nat. Grid 62/975857) was discovered by Mr H. Apling while prospecting for Bronze Age cooking-places on the course of the river above Thetford during 1932. The site is a prominent hill of glacial gravel approximately 300 yards long and 150 yards wide, rising some 20 feet above the level of the surrounding marsh and rough grazing pasture and bounded to the north at a distance of between 200…

Prehistoric Investigations in British Somaliland
The average person knows very little about British Somaliland, hardly indeed where it is situated; yet archaeologically speaking it seems likely that it will prove of considerable importance. Although up to the present no systematic investigations have been undertaken, enough material in the way of stone implements has been unearthed by amateur collectors to show that there are great possibilities of important finds being made in the country; and…

The Lower Palaeolithic Industries near Warsash Hampshire
For many years past Mr Mogridge, of the Winchester Museum, has been indefatigable in collecting Lower Palaeolithic flint implements from a number of gravel pits lying between the villages of Warsash and Hook, in the district of the Lower Hamble river, Hampshire. From time to time he has brought up selected specimens to meetings of the Prehistoric Society in London, and exhibited them to members at the conclusion of the formal lectures. These Wars…

Archaeology of the Submerged Land-Surface of the Essex Coast
Collectors of prehistoric antiquities have long regarded the foreshore of long stretches of the Essex Coast between the rivers Stour and Blackwater as a prolific hunting ground, and many notable collections, consisting mainly of flints, have been obtained from this area. It is not the purpose of this paper to record these discoveries in detail, but rather to discuss the circumstances under which the antiquities are found, to summarise the main fa…

Chronology of Human Cultures
The Magosian Culture of Uganda
A Chronological Table of Prehistory
When the Editor of ANTIQUITY approached the authors and suggested that some of his readers would welcome a visual table showing the occurrence and sequence of the different prehistoric cultures, the matter did not seem to be one of outstanding difficulty. When the time came, however, to produce the work, it was found to be quite otherwise. Perhaps the ideal method would have been to prepare a series of gigantic distribution maps of the area to be…

Fresh Light on the Stone Ages in Southeast India
The first Indian Palaeolithic stone implement was found more than 60 years ago in a ballast pit at Pallavaram, a little to the west of the Madras-Trichinopoly road. Since then a large number of stone tools belonging to various prehistoric cultures have been discovered by several keen archaeologists, among whom Bruce Foote deserves special mention.During the last fifteen years or so, however, little has been published from the southeast of the Pen…

Palæolithic Industries from the Great Ouse Gravels at and Near St. Neots
The market town of St. Neots is situated a mile or so off the Great North Road, and on the right bank of the Great Ouse just where it forms the boundary between Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire. It lies at an average height of 55 feet above O.D. For some years I have visited the pits which are worked in the low level gravels in and near this town and have been successful in obtaining from them a number of Palæolithic implements and flakes, as wel…

Stone Implements from British Somaliland
Rock Carvings in the Italian Alps
Most prehistorians are aware of the existence of a group of rock carvings depicting oxen, ploughs,etc., on the slopes around Monte Bego in the Italian Maritime Alps. As long ago as 1650 they were mentioned by the historian Gioffredo in his History of the Maritime Alps. Since then the only people of archaeological importance who appear to have paid visits to a certain few of the carvings were M. Rivière, in 1877, Professor Celesia in 1885, and Sr.…
South Africa's Past in Stone and Paint
The Transition Between Palæolithic and Neolithic Times i.e. the Mesolithic Period
The problem of the transition period between Palæolithic and Neolithic times has long fascinated prehistorians. Much work has been done and a good deal more is known of this elusive era than was the case formerly, though still many things remain obscure. It is proposed here to try and sketch out what has been discovered with special reference to some of the early cultures of Northern Europe and then tentatively to apply this knowledge to our own …

Spanish Rock-shelter Paintings of Aeneolithic Age (Spanish Group III)
In the course of a conversation with the writer, the late Émile Cartailhac, of Toulouse, once expressed the opinion that, in localities where copper ore was plentiful and easily smelted, true Neolithic culture without the knowledge of the use of metal for purposes of tool-making was of brief duration as far as Europe and the Mediterranean basin were concerned. This applies to many parts of Spain, and we therefore should expect and do find a rich …

Archaeological Work in Ukrain by Professor Ščerbakivskyj
Having had occasion, when in Prague, to meet Professor Ščerbakivskyj and to discuss with him his work at Hontzi, I felt t i should be made known in England, more especially as little has been published from this area since Volkov's papers at the Geneva Congress. Only a short precis is possible of the excavations and illustrations. Although the excavator inclines to a Magdalenian date for the culture, perhaps because it is not typically Aurignacia…
