Norfolk Implements of Palæolithic “Cave” Types
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 October 2013
Extract
M. Rutot has pointed out that in the centre and south of France all the Palæolithic industries since the Chellean, and up to and including implements of the Neolithic period, lie intermingled on the surface, and in the last part of our “Proceedings” Dr. Sturge has given cogent reasons for considering some of our surface implements in East Anglia to be late Palæolithic, of “cave” types. Mr. Reginald Smith, F.S.A., has also adopted this view, and elaborated it by allotting the well-defined “Cissbury type” implements to the Aurignacian period. In looking through some thousands of Norfolk implements I have been struck by the scarcity—omitting the “Cissbury” specimens—of the types described as resembling those from the French caves, and by their much greater frequency in South-West Norfolk than in other parts of the county, though this applies to practically every industry, and is probably due to a variety of causes, geological and otherwise.
