A pioneer in palaeolithic discovery
About the year 1840, the scientific world was startled by the claim of Boucher de Perthes that he had found Hint implex ments in the old terrace deposits of the River Somme in France. These discoveries, which caused a revolution in the prevailing views of man’s antiquity, had to meet strong opposition, but were eventually accepted. As early as 1797, however, John Frere, a Fellow of the Royal Society living at Roydon Hall, Norfolk, had published a…
Excavations at Brundon, Suffolk (1935–37)
For several years prior to 1935, the Ipswich Museum, through the kindness of Mr P. H. Jordan, had been enriched by gifts of fossil mammalian bones and teeth found in a gravel pit at Brundon, near Sudbury, Suffolk. From my occasional visits to this excavation, it was clear that a very rich bone bed existed there, and discoveries from time to time, of flint implements in the gravel, led me to conclude that excavations conducted at this site would y…
Eoliths of a late Prehistoric Date
The question of the artificial or natural origin of the flaking of the Harrisonian Eoliths of tabular form has been debated for many years. The problem is of considerable importance because Eoliths of this type have been found not only in deposits on the high plateau of Kent and in the Pliocene Bone Bed beneath the Red Crag of Suffolk but also in the Upper Miocene gravel at Aurillac, in the Cantal, France. Thus, if these specimens are flaked arti…
Rostro-carinates and Rostrate Hand-axes
Since the publication, several years ago, of my paper on the relationship of rostro-carinates to certain Lower Palaeolithic handaxes, a great deal more evidence bearing on this matter has come to light. I have been able to examine large numbers of handaxes, found in this country and in very widely separated places abroad, which exhibit, in their profile and in other characteristics, an extraordinarily close resemblance to rostro-carinates. Such p…
Four Flint Implements
It is now some years since I first drew attention to the discovery of certain very perfect leaf-shaped blades, of Early Solutré type, at Ipswich. These specimens were found during the putting in of deep foundations for a chimney-shaft at the Ipswich Corporation's Power Station in Constantine Road. The blades, which are unabraded, came from below a considerable thickness of gravel, where, it may be supposed, there at one time existed a land surfac…
A Shaped Bone from Warren Hill, Suffolk
During a recent visit to the famous gravel-pits at Warren Hill, Suffolk, one of the workmen handed me the bone which is described in this note. He evidently attached little importance to the specimen, which had been kept merely because it was a bone—as such are rare in the Warren Hill Gravel. The finder informed me that the specimen came from the concreted gravel—a very compact and chalky layer in the Warren Hill deposit. This claim is borne out,…

The Darmsden Flint Implements
Since my first paper was published nineteen years ago on the Darmsden deposit and implements, a good deal more is known about the geology of the site, while there has been collected a series of implements exhibiting a wider range of types than that described in 1916. It appears, therefore, in view of the interest taken in the primitive industry of Darmsden, that the time is opportune for the publication of another paper which will set forth the p…
Diminutive Flint Implements of Pliocene and Pleistocene Age
The occurrence of diminutive flint implements in certain industries of the Stone Age has been recognized for many years. Such specimens have been supposed to make their first appearance in the Upper Aurignac (Late Palaeolithic) period; to have extended sparingly through the Solutre and La Madeleine epochs; and to have become very numerous in the transitional industrial stages between the latest palaeolithic and earliest neolithic horizons. This, …

Further Solutré Implements from Suffolk
Recently, Mr. Roger Notcutt of Woodbridge showed me a beautiful flint implement (figs, 1, 1 a , and 1 b ), and it is through his kindness that I am able to describe it. The specimen was found when spreading out a large mass of material carted to the seaplane station at Felixstowe for making a football ground, and this material was derived from the making of a new road in the eastern part of the town. The flint blade contains in its interstices, o…

Ancient Man in the Gipping—Orwell Valley, Suffolk
In the course of my investigations of the district of Ipswich, Suffolk, I have found a large series of flint implements and other remains of man, ranging in date from the pre-Chellean of the Sub-Red Crag horizon of Pliocene times to the period of the Anglo-Saxons. The majority of these discoveries, so far as those relating to the Stone Age are concerned, were made in the beds forming the plateau, or in the sides of now dry valleys tributary to th…
A polished hand-axe from West Runton, Norfolk
The flint implement which it is the purpose of this note to illustrate and describe was found upon the surface of a ploughed field situated on the top of the cliff, immediately to the east of West Runton Gap, Norfolk. It is made from a honey-coloured flint, in places passing into a putty shade with areas of black staining. So far as its form and flaking are concerned, it is a characteristic ovate hand-axe, thickest at about the middle line, and w…
Rostro-carinates and Hand-axes
In a paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (Series B, vol. 209, pp. 329–50, 1920) I described the relationship of the rostro-carinate flint implements of the East Anglian Pliocene deposits, to the later palaeolithic hand-axes, and illustrated my remarks by means of several specimens of transitional form found in various parts of this country. Since this paper appeared I have examined a large number of implements w…

An Early Palaeolith from the Glacial Till at Sidestrand, Norfolk
For some time past Mr. J. E. Sainty, of Norwich, has subjected the cliffs and the foreshore of the north-east coast of Norfolk to examination, with a view to finding there examples of flint implements. His researches, conducted with much care, have resulted in the finding of many interesting specimens, and, at his request, I now place on record a discovery of considerable importance

Four Suffolk Flint Implements
The four flint implements described and illustrated in this article have been found at the following places in the county of Suffolk, viz. Southwold, Charsfield, Hoxne, and Nacton. The Southwold specimen (figs, 1, 1A, and 1B) was found lying at the foot of a low cliff bordering the beach at this place by Mrs. Edgar Turner of Walberswick, who has been so good as to lend the implement to the Ipswich Museum. The specimen exhibits the unchanged black…

II.—A Description of the Humanly-Fashioned Flints Found During the Excavations at High Lodge, Mildenhall
In giving an account of the humanly-fashioned flints found during the excavations at High Lodge, it is proposed to deal with those discovered in exposing section A, and to proceed to describe the specimens recovered in the other diggings, which will be dealt with in their alphabetical order. Section A. A small twisted, ovate palæolithic implement, flatter on one face than on the other, and referable, it seems, to Late Acheulean times, was found a…
