^{page 52 note 2} To judge from a reference of Armstrong, 's (Man, 1922,Google Scholar no. 75), the Abbé first identified the Holderness ‘harpoons’ publicly as Maglemosian in the course of the Munro Lectures given by him at Edinburgh in February, 1921, and they were referred to in general terms as Maglemosian in the first edition of Mr M. C. Burkitt's Prehistory published in Cambridge that same year. I can find no reference to the Abbé Breuil's Munro Lectures ever having been published as such.

Excavations began that summer at Plantation Farm, Shippea Hill, the first of a series at different sites, by which (between 1932–40) the main phases of human settlement from the late mesolithic to the late bronze age were fixed in the Post-glacial sequence of the southern fenland.

^{page 57 note 1} Similar pebbles, smeared with an analogous substance, have been found on neolithic sites in Switzerland and Liechtenstein and Prof. E. Vogt has been able to show that these were used in the preparation of birch pitch. While this report was in press Professor Vogt has kindly examined the larger pebble. He reports that the black substance is too burnt to make an identification possible and further that the pebble lacks the traces of great heat at the end, which characterise the Swiss pebbles used in the preparation of birch-pitch. The specimens bevelled at one end may be compared with objects from the Obanian midden of Caisteal-nan-Gillean, Oronsay (c.f. Movius, H. J., The Irish Stone Age, fig. 36.

^{page 61 note 1} Dr T. Paterson has strongly supported this interpretation in conversation, based on his experience of Eskimo practice.

^{page 61 note 2} According to Indreko, op. cit., 223, the longest of those from Kunda measured 28.4 cm.

^{page 62 note 1} What was almost certainly an unfinished adze, similarly made from the base of an antler and part of the frontal bone of an elk, was found at Svaerdborg (Friis Johansen, 1918–9, 298-9 and fig. 41). Axes of red deer antler with the cutting edge formed from the frontal bone are known from Denmark, but they are rare (Danske Oldsager, I, Aeldre Stenalder, no. 127. Copenhagen, 1948Google Scholar)

^{page 62 note 3} Lower extremities of metacarpal and metatarsal bones of aurochs were also found at Svaerdborg. In some, though not in all, cases they had been worn smooth, showing that they had been used as rubbers, probably for leather, before being cut up to provide material for implements (see Friis Johansen, op. cit., 338 and figs. 69, 70). Indreko, op. cit. abb. 46, 4, shows the sawn off articular end of a long bone from Kunda.

^{page 63 note 3} Amber was already used sparingly by the Hamburgians (A. Rust, 1937, 109). It was also employed, though still rarely, by the Maglemosians of Denmark; neither Mullerup nor Holmegaard yielded specimens, but a perforated bead or pendant came from Svaerdborg (Broholm, H. C., ‘Les Trouvailles de Holmegaard et de Svaerdborg’, Mém. d. Antiqu. du Nord, 1926–1931, 116Google Scholar, fig. 66).

^{page 63 note *} A grant of £50 was made available on the recommendation of the Board of Archaeology and Anthropology to make provision for practical field training for students.

Price and Mr M. W. Thompson (Pembroke), Mr Gale Sieveking (King's) and Mr W. R. Staton (Clare).

^{page 65 note *} This strip was only 2·4 instead of the usual 3 feet long. The graph showing the density of flakes and burins (Pl. VIII, lower) has been adjusted accordingly.

^{page 65 note †} In addition, the following flints were obtained from O/P (21–22): 60 flakes, 3 cores, 2 core-dressings, 7 used or trimmed flakes, 2 scrapers, 4 burins and 1 microlith. Since this area had to be used as a sump, conditions were far from ideal and it is likely that a smaller proportion of the available material was collected than in the main section.
