Abstract
I propose in this address to give you some account of my work during the past two or three years bearing on the difficult problems of prehistoric chronology. You may remember that to the first number of the “Proceedings” I contributed a paper on this subject. Since that time I have been continuously occupied with it, and I believe I have made some advance, both as regards facts and as regards theory.It will be within the recollection of you all, that in the paper alluded to, the fact round which everything else pivoted was the striation of certain classes of neolithic flints. The cardinal fact to which I would call attention to-day is the occurrence of other classes of presumably neolithic flints which show the striking peculiarity of being patinated on one side only, or if both sides are patinated, one side is very much more so than the other. My attention was drawn to the peculiarity in this way: For some time past large numbers of flint implements and flakes have been brought to me by the labourers on an estate a few miles from Icklingham.
