The Cambridge excavations at La Cotte de St Brelade, Jersey—a preliminary report
The following is a preliminary report on excavations undertaken at this site under the aegis of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of Cambridge. The work was carried out during a number of seasons over the past ten years, partly as a research project and partly as field training for third year and research students under the direction of C.B.M.McB. To P.C. fell the eventual task of collating and summarizing the exten…

The Cave of Ali Tappeh and the Epi-Palaeolithic in N.E. Iran
In the 1964 Proceedings a preliminary report was published of an initial sounding at this site, discovered and named (after a nearby village) in 1962. The main excavation, in the summer of 1964, was undertaken with the kind permission and co-operation of the Iranian Government and authorities, and with the financial assistance of grants from the British Academy and the Crowther Beynon Fund of the University of Cambridge. Subsequent laboratory ana…
The Haua Fteah (Cyrenaica) and the Stone Age of the South-East Mediterranean
Preliminary Report on Stone Age Reconnaissance in north-eastern Iran
The following is a preliminary report on the results achieved during approximately six weeks' archaeological fieldwork in north-eastern Iran in July and August 1963. The primary objective was to explore the area for traces of the local Upper Pleistocene cultural sequence, and in particular to establish if possible the date and character of the local Upper Palaeolithic. In the event no traces of Upper Palaeolithic were obtained. However, a start w…
Aspects of Palaeolithic Art
It is a curious reflection that although palaeolithic art has been known and recognized as such for over a century, and despite the fact that during this time an enormous volume of literature has accumulated on the subject, yet the publications consist almost exclusively of articles dealing with limited aspects. These comprise descriptions of individual finds, or particular sites, but there are virtually no works on any scale to present the art a…

Report on the First Season's Fieldwork on British Upper Palaeolithic Cave Deposits
During the Easter and Summer of 1958 a programme of investigations into British Upper Palaeolithic cave deposits was initiated on behalf of the Prehistoric Society, with the aid of a grant from the Research Fund. The work was further supported by the Crowther Beynon Fund of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of Cambridge. Labour in the field was provided by students in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University, with no…
New World Origins Seen from the Old World
The last few years have seen a rapid advance in our knowledge of the early inhabitants of America, not of their bones, which are still elusive, but of the ways in which they lived and the things they made and used. The appearance of two important publications gives occasion for a brief review of the present state of the problem and how it appears from outside.Dr Wormington's book is a new edition of an old friend, which is, like its predecessors,…
Prehistory and Pleistocene Geology in Cyrenaican Libya
The Haua Fteah Fossil Jaw
Radiocarbon dating results from the Old World
The latest complete list of radiocarbon readings received from America brings the total number of dated sites and objects to upwards of 160. Of these 120 are from localities in the New World, and their archaeological implications have been reviewed by G. H. S, Bushneil in the last number of ANTIQUITY; the object of the present article is to do the same for the 40 odd results available from the Old World
First Report of the Cambridge Archaeological Expedition to Cyrenaica (1947)
The choice of the Gebel Akhdar region of Cyrenaica for study arose partly from its geographical position midway between the Atlas and the Levant. At the same time the topography, with a range of considerable hills close to the coast, must at all times have provided a rainfall very appreciably superior to that of the surrounding low-lying territories. The area is thus a strategic one in which to examine the problems of the relationship between the…
The Stone Age of the Libyan Littoral
Military service during the 1942–43 campaign in Libya provided an opportunity for myself and a few friends to make a preliminary reconnaissance of stone age remains along the 1200 miles of coast between Alexandria and Tripoli. Under the circumstances many of our observations were necessarily of a very incomplete and cursory nature. I have nevertheless thought it worth while presenting them as a whole, since they do at least provide a first estima…
