Some Notes on the Prehistory of the Eastern Part of Central Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 October 2013
Extract
Having lately returned from Czecho-Slovakia, where I was attending an Anthropological Congress and studying museum collections, I thought perhaps it might interest members of the P.S.E.A. to have a note on what appears to be the succession of prehistoric cultures in that country.
There seems to be nothing so far found corresponding to our Lower Palæolithic or earlier industries. It is true that there is one solitary lump of flint, roughly chipped, with large flake-scars and an ochreous patina that has been claimed as Lower Palæolithic in date, but it is really very little to go on. A poor kind of Mousterian, mostly not made of good flint, seems fairly common in Moravia although it has not been found near Prague. On the other hand, many of the tools in an undoubted Upper Palæolithic series recall by their technique and shape the industry of La Quina.
