On theCONTINUITY of thePALMOLITHIC and NEOLITHIC PERIODS. By JNO. ALLEN BROWN,F.G.S., &c. 19ntroductory. IT has been generallyassumed that a break occurredbetween the periodsduring which this country and, in fact,the continent of Europe was inhabitedby PalkeolithicMan and his Neolithic successor,and that the race or races -ofPaleolithic folkwlho hunted the elephant, rhinoceros,cave bear, hippopotamus, reindeer,urus, bison, &c., were completelyseparated as by a chasm fromthe agriculturalpeople, the herdsmenwith their oxen and sheep, and the tillers of the soil of the so-called Neolithic epoch,implying that man in Britain had changed suddenlyfrom a low savage huunterto a half-civilisedfarmer and drover. No physical causes,no adequate reasons have in fact ever been assignedfor such a hiatus in human existence,certainly the geologist can offerno evidencein support of it. Some writers?have stuggestedthat the man of the drift period was entirely exterminatedby the better-armedinvading Neo- lithicrace; others suppose him to have become extinct like the tichorinerhinoceros and inammoth,but why he should have fared worse than the reindeerand other creatureswho survived,it would be hard to imagine. The originaldivisioll of thestone age into twodistincet periods may howeverbe accounted for; in the firstplace, up to the time whenM. de Perthes and Dr. Rigolletmade the discovery of the earlier relics of man, the stone age was only represented by polishedcelts and the well markedhighly-finished chipped specimenis;these formeda strikingcontrast with the rudely- fashionledpoilnted and oval implementswhich at firstwere found,and fora long timewere the only driftforms believed to be of hunian origin. Gradually,however, other tools and implementshaving their analoguesin the Neolithic,or surfaceperiod, were met within This content downloaded from 91.229.229.205 on Sat, 14 Jun 2014 14:42:22 PM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions Palaolithic and NeolithicPeriods. 67 the driftgravels and brick earths,and as the contentsof caves and rock shelterswere exanmined,it became evident that they wereaccumulated at differentperiods, and with minor excep- tionslong afterthe depositionof the oldest valley driftof the Tharnesor the Somme. Anotherreason nmaybe foundin our want of knowledge, untilcomparatively recently, of later Quaternarygeology- .e. of the origin,formation and sequence of the deposits which followedthe deposition of thehigh level implementiferousdrifts, suchas the brickearths, head and rubble,and otheraccumula- tions which bring down geological evidence to the historical period. The inivestigationsof ProfessorPrestwich and others have thrownmuch lighton tlle depositsof later date than the riverdrift, and withthem, as will be seen,the relics of man are associated,tooether with evidence of the gradual extinctionof someanimals and the retreatof others. Withthese changes came alterationsin the typesand formsof stoneimnplements, and if thelatest are comparedwith the earliest formsthe differenceis very striking;but wlhena large series fromdifferent levels ofvalley drift and eaves,and fromthe surface is studiedthe evolutionof the illorerecent from the olderforms is apparent,and a continuityis evidentbetween thema all. The supposed break in the continuityof the stone age in this countryis bridged by the discoveryof inmplementsof later Paleolithic type and of others wbicihfrom their formmay be regardedas of tranisitionor intermediateage, in som-lecombes and dry valleys associated with deposits of chalk anid flint rubblein parts of Sussex, as well as with other accumulations and formationsto which I shall referas being of mnorerecent datethan the high level river drifts. The gradual change in mammalian life which appears to have accompanied these higherstages of the stonieage will also be considered. The French aind Belgian geologists,whose countrieshave affordedthem much bettermaterial for studyingthis question than we have in England,are divided in opinion as to the continiuityor otherwiseof thePalaeolithic anld Neolithic periods. M. G. de Mortilletand M.

ALLENBROWN.-On the Continuity of the high level drifts and the more skilled handiwork of the Neolithicperiod. AlthoughI shall have occasionto menitionother localities in which implementsof Paleolithic type have been discovered,I wish to drawspecial attentionto the valleys and combesat and in the vicinityof East Dean, near Eastbourne, Sussex, as a districtin which during the last few years flintimplements have been found(associated with othersof later date) whicb,if they had been met with in river driftand thus acquired the usual gravel-stainedsurface, would have been undistinguishable frommany of the riverdrift specimens. The districtof East Dean is in a deep chalk valley with a gradual slope from the village of that name to the coast at Birling Gap. The valley widens in severalplaces between the sea and the village,and severalnarrow transverse valleys lead into it, the generaldip of whichis also towardsthe sea. The high chalk hills forman importantwatershed to these lines of drainage. At Birling Gap thereis a low cliffabout 25 to 30 feet hiigh, throughwhich a cutting leads to the beach. The section at this spot has the appearanceat firstsight of an old riverchaninel extendingabout 350 or 400 feet in the cliff. This

Email: Prieto: [email protected]; García-Rojas: [email protected]; Sánchez: [email protected]; Calvo: [email protected]; Domínguez-Ballesteros: [email protected]; Ordoño: [email protected]; García-Collado: [email protected] Abstract: Studies on lithic resource management –mainly flint– by prehistoric groups south of the western Pyrenees have significantly increased during the past decades. These studies usually focus on identifying outcrops and characterising the different varieties found at archaeological sites. However, the understanding of mobility and territorial management patterns based on raw materials is still very limited and has only been tackled in terms of lineal distance. This paper proposes a methodological approach for the territorial analysis of flint distribution with the three following aims: 1) to determine the expansion ranges of each variety of flint from its outcrop; 2) to spatially relate these outcrops with archaeological sites; and 3) to improve our knowledge on the catchment strategies of Upper Palaeolithic groups. The methodological tool chosen to fulfil these objectives is the Geographic Information System (GIS), because it allows to relate spatially the flint outcrops and flint varieties identified at archaeological sites based on: 1) isocost maps showing the cost of expansion for each variety of flint across the territory built on topography; 2) the quantification of the cost of expansion using Cost Units (CU); and 3) the relationship between the percentage of each variety of flint at each archaeological site and the cost of accessing its outcrop.

The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.” C.S. Lewis (1942, p. 9) “A phenomenon cannot be observed unless the observer has a metaphor through which to see it.” (Schenk, 2001, p. 101) “At its root, therapy derives from a word meaning ‘to hold up, to support’. Therapy gives us the satisfaction of being useful... And often therapy does some good. Yet it can also feed our sense of self-importance, and inadvertently fuel our fear of futility. Therapy is not the same as healing.” (Norris, 2008, p. 141) “Beware of stripping a patient who can’t bear the chill of reality.

Indeed, from the revival of the Hebrew language at the end of the nineteenth century and all throughout the defining events of the last one hundred years, the trend of the textually sacrosanct appearing as a persistent motif in Judaic cultural production has only increased.

Upper Palaeolithic cultures flourished in Europe, Southwest Asia, Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia during the later stages of the Upper Pleistocene, often referred to as Late Pleistocene (Fig. 3.1). Fig.3.1: Map showing important site of Cro-Magnon fossils and Upper Palaeolithic tools 47 in the Old World (after Campbell 1979) Palaeolithic Cultures Very broadly, the age of the Upper Palaeolithic falls between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago. The human species associated with this cultural phase is Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens (AMHS), the extant and the only surviving human species. We belong to this species. Upper Palaeolithic cultures succeed the Middle Palaeolithic Mousterian or other flake tool cultures in different parts of the Old World.

Again, in a subject such as Prehistory, so closely connected with various branches of written History, Geology, Ethnology, and Later Archaeology, it is very difficult to know when to be ultra-elementary, and when to assume a slight general knowledge of one of these allied subjects.
