Abstract
WHAT would appear to be a remarkable collection of flint implements of Bronze Age date, unusually numerous for the period, is reported (The Times, June 28) to have been found on Lightlands Farm, belonging to Mr. George Lawrence, of Frant, Sussex. It includes arrow-heads, tanged and barbed, scrapers, knives and flakes. Apparently the implements belong to a pygmy flint industry. The site is half a mile north-east of the camp of Saxonbury. It is on clay soil which has been ploughed for orchards. The flints in consequence have been widely scattered. It is pointed out that such sites are not common in the mid-Weald, to which the raw flint had to be carried either sixteen miles from the North Downs or eighteen miles from the South Downs. Pygmy implements are more commonly found on the sandy sites fringing the Weald.
