Flint and other Stone Implements found at Mary Tavy, Devon

Extract
First of all I must express my thanks for the opportunity given me to exhibit before the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia specimens from my collection of Flint and other Stone Implements found at Mary Tavy, Devon, and for the observations made on them by Mr. Reginald Smith, F.S.A., and Mr. W. G. Clarke.
My collection was commenced about twelve years ago, and an interesting series has been accumulated, the 133 specimens exhibited being representative of the various types found.
Although there is no question as to the “humanity” of the flint specimens, those made of slate and other rocks seem likely to cause a diversity of opinion, and are therefore of greater interest and I hope may induce other prehistoric archæologists to make a special study of them. Both the flint and other stone implements probably belong to the same period; there seems to be some doubt as to which age they can be assigned to, but the late Neolithic or Early Bronze age appears to be the most likely.
