Abstract
A MINUTE field study of a quite small area often paves the way not only to a vivid realisation of the life of our forerunners in the region studied, but also to the solution of problems of much wider scope. Mr. Elgee has not only tramped the moorlands and vales of north-eastern Yorkshire, closely scrutinising the humblest traces left there by prehistoric man, but he has also ransacked the obscure records left by early antiquarians. The results of this labour of love, embodied in the eminently readable and richly illustrated volume before us, will be welcomed both by the specialist, as a solid contribution to prehistory, and by the layman, as a fascinating picture of early life in a delightfully scenic background. Early Man in North-East Yorkshire. By Frank Elgee. Pp. xvi + 259 + 30 plates. (York: The Author, Shirley House, Commondale, 1930.) 25s. 9d.
