Further Discoveries of Ancient Flint Implements at Cromer

Abstract

FOLLOWING upon the discoveries of flint implements referable to the Cromer Forest Bed Series of Norfolk, the Trustees of the Percy Sladen Fund very generously provided funds for the further examination of these and of other associated deposits. The first part of this research is now completed, and has, in my judgment, established the occurrence of flint implements of Early Chellean types at the base of the Cromer Forest Bed, and of Late Acheulean types in some of the glacial gravel above the Contorted Drift. As will be remembered, there was discovered upon the foreshore at Cromer a large series of ochreous specimens, which, while not actually in situ, was, from the whole circumstances of the case, referred by me to the lowermost horizon of the Forest Bed.1
