Extract

By examining those arrow-heads which are known to have been found in strict association with typical objects and by ignoring those from the material of barrows or from the surface of ploughed fields, it should be possible to classify the series and to establish the successive changes in an article of common use during the later Stone and Bronze Ages of Britain. Only brief references to continental work on the subject will be necessary to enable comparisons to be made, to trace possible lines of communication, and to reach some measure of agreement as to chronology.
