Abstract
New sociological techniques in the history of science are described. Their value is illustrated by reinterpreting the diagnostic disputes which occurred following the first discovery of the Stonesfield mammals. It is concluded that contextual explanations are more sympathetic to early savants and more conducive to the integration of science and social history.
