Abstract

THE Mesolithic site of Téviec, a rocky islet situated about eighteen hundred metres west of the shores of the peninsula of Quiberon in Brittany, which has been explored by M. and Mme. Péquart, is up to the present the most important station of this period that has been submitted to systematic and complete examination. Incidentally, it may be said, it gains in significance by the fact that examination of human skeletal remains from Téviec has elicited from MM. Boule and Vallois a detailed analysis of the physical characters of Mesolithic man, so far as known from the remains which have survived, and a comparison of this race or type with those of the Upper Palæolithic.
