C. POLKINGHORNE, B.Sc, F.C.S. WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS BY SYDNEY HARROWING and FRANK PERCY SMITH LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.G. 1903 776. -^ PREFACE These chapters attempt to give the results of some years of observation and research respecting a famihar branch of archaeologx', so far as it concerns the North-East corner of the most beautiful of the home counties. The district explored lies close to the wilderness of London. In the exploration, difficulty has been the twin-brother of desire, for whilst it seemed well to examine the area nearest our feet, it was plain that this must be done speedily, for bricks and mortar are spreading apace. The supposed barrow at Bedford Hill is demolished and built over ; vandals have partly destroyed the barrows on Banstead Downs ; and the crumbling fortilications at Car- dinal's Cap, already barely discernible, are in private grounds, or they might soon be merged in the formation of a stronghold of more modern type. Beddington, IMitcham. Ewell, and other villages, are fast losing their rural features, Within the last two or three years the builder has spoiled some of the haunts of Neolithic man described in these pages. There were two further difficulties to be met. [Much of the North Downs is covered with the compact turf of ages, which thus conceals ancient remains. On the other hand, in some localities the soil is so highly culti\-ated as to be practically inaccessible to the rambler. The latter part of the book has some approach to unique- ness, and is, we trust, a real contribution to archaeology. It deals largely with surface discoveries, which hitherto have been much neglected, if not despised. That there is sense in such in\-estigations is admitted b}^ no less an authority than Lord Avebury. He says, ' Stone implements are fre- quently found on the surface of the ground, or are dug up in agricultural or other operations. But those found singly in it this manner have comparatively little scientific value : is when they occur in considerable numbers, and especially when associated with other remains, that lliey serve to throw [ ^• ] 632334 vi PREFACE. much light on the manners and customs of ancient times.' {" Pre-historic Times,' 6th ed., 1900,. p. 95.) This paragraph might indeed serve as our motto. The general introduction to the story of Neolithic man is the epitome of much stud\' on this fascinating subject. We believe that the statements are accurate. In order that the reader may verify and extend the information, full references are given, and, that the text may not be encumbered, these are collected in a separate chapter. It is believed that this list, with the occasional references throughout the book, will furnish a useful bibliography. The area investigated is limited Northwards by the Thames ; the Southern boundary runs from Box Hill to Oxted. The parallelogram thus enclosed measures roughly 144^ X 13 miles. Part of this area is occupied by London ; as an offset, occasional allusions are made to places l5ang be3''ond the border. The maps and the drawings of implements liave been prepared specially for this volume ; the latter are taken entirely from our own collection. Our best thanks are gratefully accorded to Mr. Frank Percy Smith and Mr. Sydney Harrowing for their painstaking and effective labours in this department. The section written by Mr. B. C. Polkinghorne should prove extremely useful. The subject treated therein has, we believe, never been adequately dealt with previously, even in standard works, and the amount of misconception and error which prevails is surprising. Where we have ventured to leave demonstrable fact to offer suggestions, it is trusted that these are neither wild nor unreasonable. Ideas of this kind must, at any rate, serve as the basis of discussion. Wliether standing in a prehistoric excavation to eat lunch on a bitter, frosty day, or examining a barrow amid February sleet, or prospecting the Surrey corner field by field, or scraping oft' clay from the, boots during a high gale, the scores of hours spent in North-East Surrey have been pleasantly spent. Whether they have been profitably spent, the reader will doubtless decide for himself. CONTENTS I. THE SEQUENCE OF RACES IN BRITAIN - - - I II. THE NEOLITHIC AND BRONZE-USING RACES OF BRITAIN lO III.

THE SEQUENCE OF RACES IN BRITAIN. In order to render the following pages more interesting to the general reader, it may be well briefly to summarise our present knowledge concerning the succession of races in Great Britain. Such knowledge is based upon an examina- tion of human relics of various ages, and upon social and ethnological data derived from a study of the peoples who still represent phases of culture corresponding to those of the various ancient races of this country. For the modern savage, as the late General Pitt-Rivers was wont to remark, presents us, if not with a photograph, at least with a portrait, of primeval man. The most serviceable method of tracing the development of races is afforded by studying the nature of the tools and weapons of each stage. In general, races are believed to have passed normally from the employment of wooden weapons to those made of stone, ^* thence to the use of metals, first of bronze, afterwards of iron. If, like ]\Ir. H. G. Wells, we may indulge in reasonable 'Anticipations,' we may foresee a time when aluminium will partially supersede iron. In some countries, moreover, such as Egypt, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia and Ireland,' it has now become clear that there was a transition period between the Stone and the Bronze Ages, when implements and tools were made from copper unalloyed with tin. Nilsson and Tliomsen laid * See Appendix : List of .References to Authorities Consulted. I 2 NEOLITHIC MAN IN NORTH-EAST SURREY. down the aphorism that the Stone Age is that of savagery ; the Bronze that of barbarism ; and the Iron that of civihsa- tion. Interpreting this hberally, one may accept the statements as helpful, but so far as Britain is concerned, the later Stone and the Bronze Ages by no means display lack of culture and intelligence. The word ' Age ' has just been used, both because it is convenient and because it is deeply rooted in the nomen- clature of archaeology. But it must never be overlooked that the various ' ages ' merged into one another, that there was a consequent overlapping, and that, at a given moment, races have existed, and still exist, in practically every stage of development. The epochs of stone and metal are not found to be contemporaneous all the world over, yet they commonly follow in fixed order. ^ To borrow a word which Huxley applied to the geological strata, to describe the unchanging succession of members, in spite of local absences here and there, we may say that the ages, or rather stages, of wood, stone, and metal are homotaxial.

Akademisk avhandling, som för avläggande av filosofie doktors­ examen vid universitetet i Umeå kommer att offentligt för­ svaras i hörsal F, Humanisthuset, Umeå universitet, fredagen den 31 januari 1992 klockan 10.00. Abstract The thesis raises questions concerning prehistoric conditions in a high mountain region in central Scandinavia; it focuses on the human use of stone and on hunting principally of reindeer. An analysis of how the stone material was utilized and an approach to how large mammals were hunt­ ed result in a synthesis describing one interpretation of how the vast landscape of a region in the central Scandinavian high mountains was used. With this major aim as a base questions were posed concerning the human use of stone resources and possible changes in this use. Preconditions for the occurrence of large mammals as game animals and for hunting are also highlighted. A general perspective is the long time period over which possible changes in the use of stone and hunting of big game, encompassing the Late Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and to a certain extent the Early Iron Age. Considering the manufacture of flaked stone tools, debitage in the form of flakes from a dwelling, constitute the base where procurement and technology are essential.

  • Procurement and Use of Chert from Localized Sources in Trinidad
    Journal of Caribbean Archaeology Copyright 2015 ISBN 1524-4776 Procurement and Use of Chert from Localized Sources in Trinidad Jack H. Ray Center for Archaeological Research Missouri State University 901 South National Avenue Springfield, Missouri 65897 [email protected] Relatively little is known about the procurement and use of chert as a lithic resource by prehistoric Amerindians in Trinidad. Although not common, chert artifacts are present on both Archaic and Ceramic Age sites throughout much of Trinidad. Recent research in the Central Range has located and documented two previously undocumented localized sources where chert is readily available. Other previously reported localized sources of chert in the Northern, Central, and Southern Ranges were also visited. The chert at each source is described and characterized in terms of suitability for working. Analysis of chert artifacts from ten sites spread across Trinidad, as well as the description of chert artifacts from several other sites, revealed that Malchan Hill, located in the Central Range, appears to have been a primary source for many of the chert artifacts found in Trinidad. The technology that was used to produce the majority of chert artifacts is based on bipolar percussion for the production of simple flake blanks. These sharp unmodified flake blanks appear to have been used for various cutting and scraping purposes in Archaic times, whereas many of the flake blanks were smashed into angular wedge-shaped pieces to be used as teeth in grater boards for the processing of plant foods, especially cassava, in Ceramic times. Relativamente poco se sabe acerca de la adquisición y el uso del sílex como recurso lítico por los amerindios prehistóricos en Trinidad.

  • Original Research Paper the Origins of Nomadic Pastoralism in the Eastern Jordanian Steppe
    Manuscript Click here to access/download;Manuscript;Miller et al The Origins of Nomadic Pastoralism.docx Original Research Paper The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe: a combined stable isotope and chipped stone assessment Holly Miller1, Douglas Baird2, Jessica Pearson2, Angela L. Lamb3, Matt Grove2, Louise Martin4 and Andrew Garrard4. The circumstances in which domestic animals were first introduced to the arid regions of the Southern Levant and the origins of nomadic pastoralism, have been the subject of considerable debate. Nomadic pastoralism was a novel herd management practice with implications for the economic, social and cultural development of Neolithic communities inhabiting steppe and early village environs. Combining faunal stable isotope and chipped stone analysis from the Eastern Jordanian Neolithic steppic sites of Wadi Jilat 13 and 25, and ‘Ain Ghazal in the Mediterranean agricultural zone of the Levantine Corridor, we provide a unique picture of the groups exploiting the arid areas. Key words Neolithic; stable isotopes; nomadic pastoralism; lithic analysis; fauna. Introduction Some of the earliest evidence for domestic sheep and goats herds in the Eastern Jordanian steppe has been recovered from the sites of Wadi Jilat 13 and 25 at the beginning of the seventh millennium cal.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document hBve been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques it provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on die film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
