The Occupation of Sandown Park, Esher, during the Stone Age, the Early Iron Age, and the Anglo-Saxon Period
The advent of the recent war put a complete stop to those archaeological investigations which were either in hand or for which plans had already been made. Nevertheless, it is true to say that, as a direct result of the war, many archaeological sites were discovered and excavated which otherwise would have remained unnoticed or undug. A good example of such a case is afforded in the present instance. Peace-time racegoers are well familiar with th…
Decorated Prehistoric Pottery from the Bed of the Ebbsfleet, Northfleet, Kent
Pumping operations conducted by the Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers Co., Ltd., in the large chalk quarry situated between Brook Vale and the Southern Railway track to the east resulted in the normal water-level for the immediate vicinity being lowered by approximately 50 ft. This volume of pumping, however, had the effect of filling to capacity all streams and conduits connected with the outflow, so that archaeological investigation of t…
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…

Two Mesolithic ‘floors’ in the Ebbsfleet Valley of the Lower Thames
In view of the stimulating discoveries made by Messrs. Schwantes and Rust in the districts of Hamburg and Kiel, I am prompted to write a preliminary note on two Mesolithic ‘floors’ recently discovered in the Ebbsfleet Valley, west of Northfleet, on the right bank of the Lower Thames. The horizons in question are located in a stoneless calcareous silt containing shells of both land and freshwater types. Subsequent erosion phases have considerably …
Hand-Axes later than the Main Coombe-Rock of the Lower Thames Valley
Archaeologists in France have for many years recognized hand-axes of St. Acheul facies in association with flake-implements of Levallois type, which are contemporary with the mid-Pleistocene deposits of the Somme valley. Their place in the culture-sequence is after the cold period that produced the main Coombe-rock of South-East England, and the Little Eastern or Upper Chalky Boulder-clay of East Anglia. The Coombe-rock referred to overwhelmed th…
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, …

Ornamental Motifs Common in Upper Palaeolithic and Bronze Age Times
Some Littoral Sites of Early Post-Glacial Times Located in North Ireland
In 1931 I described two newly-discovered stone age industries of post-glacial age situated in north-east Ireland which had been made by myself and worked in conjunction with my friend C. Blake Whelan: the one from the Lower Estuarine Clay on Islandmagee, and the other from what is probably a fluviatile gravel intercalated between the Upper and Lower Estuarine Clays in the raised-beach formation at Cushendun. The former of these cultures has its c…
Fresh Facts relating to the Boyn Hill Terrace of the Lower Thames Valley
During the past five years I have confined my study of the ‘100-foot’ terrace to the gravel-pit at Swanscombe which commands a view eastwards over the Ebbsfleet valley. Within a few weeks the ballast will have been wholly cleared from above the chalk. For this reason a summary of the evidence the site has furnished will not be out of place, more especially as up to the present only a very incomplete account has been published
The Middle Mousterian Culture and its relation to the Coombe Rock of Post-Early Mousterian Times
The area north of the Middle Thames situated between Acton and West Drayton reveals extensive deposits which have been referred by H.M. Geological Survey to the Boyn Hill, Taplow, and Low terraces. As within the valley of the Lower Thames, these features have yielded implements and mammalian remains. In the opinion of the officers of the Geological Survey the formation of the Taplow terrace and its contained deposits occurred prior to the formati…

IV.— The Northfleet 50-foot Submergence later than the Coombe Rock of post-Early Mousterian times
Researches conducted during the past twenty years have definitely succeeded in establishing the sequence, both archaeological and geological, of the Boyn Hill or ‘100-foot’ terrace of the Lower Thames. The culture-stages there represented are set out hereunder in ascending order, beginning with the oldest: (1) Clactonian 1; these specimens, many of which are striated, have been derived from some earlier deposit not yet located : (2) Clactonian 2 …
The Implementiferous Deposits of the Lower Thames Valley and of East Anglia
The Presidential Address for 1931
In order to prepare an address calculated to be of general interest to my fellow archæologists, it is essential that it be composed of a variety of ingredients. Now, it so happens that the results I have been obtaining during the course of my investigations in the last few years not only embrace a large number of culture phases, but, when arranged in proper sequence, they form a consecutive narrative. Furthermore, the greater part of the research…
Palaeolithic Implements from Kirmington, Lincolnshire, and their relation to the 100-foot raised beach of Late Pleistocene Times
Last year I described before the Society a series of flint implements of Upper Palaeolithic (Upper Mousterian-Aurignacian) facies discovered by me in Yorkshire at the base of, and passing up into, a deposit considered by Lamplugh to resemble a weathered Boulder clay and classed by him as of Late Glacial Age. The geological aspects of these archaeological finds I have dealt with fully in a paper read subsequently to the Prehistoric Society of East…
Upper and Lower Palaeolithic Man in East Yorkshire
The most complete section of the glacial series of deposits described and illustrated in Lamplugh's classic paper entitled “On the drifts of Flamborough Head” is that which is located at Danes' Dyke. Referring to this section Lamplugh says:— “I have spent much time in exploring this section, and consider that the beds up to this horizon represent the Basement Clay, while the persistent upper band of brown Boulder-clay (3) is all that remains of t…

The Gravels at Reculver, Kent
In January, 1912, Mr. Reginald Smith read a paper before the Society of Antiquaries entitled “Flint Implements of Special Interest,” in which figured an implement of the Thames pick type— the author relegating it to the palæolithic period. I will read an extract from this paper describing the “pick.” “The implement in question was found during the War by the late Captain Harvey Webb while searching the coastal gravel near Netley Hospital. It is a…

A Final Account of the Investigations Carried out at Lower Halstow, Kent
In the Proceedings of this Society (Vol. V, pt. 1, pp. 73–8) I described an epi-palæolithic factory site at Lower Halstow, Kent, situated beneath an accumulation of marsh deposits. In addition I recorded the discovery of Early Iron Age and Roman pottery in the immediate neighbourhood made under similar circumstances. In the course of the above paper I endeavoured to correlate the facts at my disposal so as to afford a general appreciation of the …
