Extract

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 Anglia. Both papers, however, were complementary to one read by J.Reid Moir on archaeological discoveries of a similar nature made by him in north-west Norfolk in the Brown Boulder clay. With the objects of obtaining confirmation of Lamplugh's geological opinion and of bridging the gap between north-west Norfolk and Yorkshire, I decided to investigate the glacial sequence in north-east Lincolnshire, choosing Kirmington as a centre.

page 271 note 5 I have recently discovered in the Thames Valley an Upper Palaeolithic factory-site containing implements and pottery fragments resting on ‘Coombe Rock’ and overlain by Brick earth and ‘Combe Deposit’. The implements from the Brown Boulder clay of NE. Lincolnshire, and from the Thames Valley site, will be described at a later date in a further paper.
