Grime's Graves Flint Mines

Abstract

I inferred from the report of the “experts in prehistoric archæology,” that if the various flint implements met with at Grime's Graves had been found separately in different localities, they would have been referred “authoritatively” to several successive periods of human culture. To aid them in dealing with this strange admixture of supposedly distinct industries, I merely pointed out that the geological evidence, so far as discovered, is perfectly harmonious and conclusive, showing that the deposits cannot be older than the Neolithic period.
