^{page 99 note a} It is very difficult to distinguish, by the colour, copper and poor bronze (with a very small portion of tin), and only some few objects have been analyzed. Cf. George Coffey, “Irish Copper Celts,” in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, xxxi. 265Google Scholar; Gowland, W., “Copper and its Alloys in Prehistoric Times,” Presidential Address, in the same Journal, xxxvi. (1906), 11Google Scholar.

^{page 100 note b} Coffey, , I.c. 267Google Scholar (trace of tin up to 1 per cent, of this metal). Some of the English axes contain much tin (9 to 11 per cent.), which is, as we have already seen, due to the presence of tin in the English copper ores. (Journal of the Anthropological Institute, xxxvi. 24Google Scholar.)

^{page 100 note c} It is a mistake to suppose that such axes have been “inserted vertically” (i.e. longitudinally) “into a wooden handle by being driven in for about 2 inches at the narrow end, the grain of the wood (still adhering to the bronze when found) running in the same direction as the longest dimension of the celt” (Archaeologia, xliii. 445Google Scholar). If the axe is fixed in such a handle as fig. 20 the grain of the shorter bent part of the handle runs in the same direction as the blade.

^{page 101 note a} Tanged dagger-blades have erroneously been called “spear-heads.”

It has been suggested that some British axes from the 2nd period which present a peculiar coating of metallic tin may have been purposely tinned. The analysis of the coating of two axes found at Sluie (No. 68) gave:

and it seems, as it has been remarked, more probable that the high percentage of tin may be due te the gradual rusting away of the copper of the bronze, which would leave an excess of tin on the surface.

Arbor Low is a stone circle in Derbyshire: the plateau on which the rough unhewn stones were placed averages 160 feet (49 m.) in diameter, and is, as fig. 76, enclosed by a fosse, still 5½ feet deep, and a vallum, on the outside 7 feet high above the general surrounding turf-level; two entrances, as in fig. 76. A barbed arrow-head of flint has been found on the bottom of the deepest portion of the fosse; such arrow-heads are characteristic of the Copper Age. (Anderson, I.c. 97.)

^{page 156 note a} A specimen of this type has been found in England, but alone. It was evidently, as Sir John Evans has already observed (Bronze, 287), imported from the Continent.

^{page 156 note b} English bronze axes with blades of the same form can be seen here in figs. 44 and 67. Compare for the ornaments fig. 83. The sides have the same shape, with long lozenges, as fig. 42.

^{page 156 note c} For bronze axes of the same type, with the characteristic notch at the upper end, see Montelius, Pre-Classical Chronology in Greece and Italy, pl. 2.

^{page 158 note a} Some French archaeologists, accepting in a most courteous way most of my system for the French Bronze Age, have objected to the separation of the fourth and fifth periods. I know very well, that some finds contain types representing both periods, but the interval between the beginning of the fourth and the end of the fifth period is so long, and there is so great a difference between these parts of the Bronze Age in Prance, that they must be considered as two separate periods.

^{page 158 note b} For the evolution of the copper and bronze axes in Scandinavia and Italy, see Montelius, Die älteren Kulturperioden 27 and 21.
