Some Sussex Implements

Extract

Fig. 23A is a very carefully worked leaf-shaped blade identical with implements from the Solutré site of Laugerie Haute. It is from clay-with-flints gravel, at present being ploughed up by German prisoners, on the ridge between Cissbury and Sompting, O.D. 600 ft. There is nothing Neolithic about it whatever: it is a distinctly Palæolithic artefact. B, C, D, and E are “Cat Tongue” Palæoliths from such diverse localities as Grime's Graves, Cissbury, O.D. 600 ft., and from a depth of 9 feet below the surface of the so-called South Coast Brickearth, at Southsea, in a recent excavation associated with a Red Crag fossil, the Chrysodomus contraria.
