I20 ON SOME DIGGINGS NEAR BRASSINGTON, DERBYSHIRE. 



now presented a wall-like surface (a, Fig. 13). In pushing our 

 trench southwards, the edge of a large and almost horizontal 

 limestone slab was exposed on the east side, at a slightly higher 



Fir.. 13 (I in. to I ft.) 



level than the natural surface (b), and on the opposite side a 

 line of three smaller stones (d, d, d) set on edge. The natural 

 surface was discoloured, as by particles of charcoal and ash 

 trodden into it, and upon, or just below, were picked up a 

 beautifully chipped point of a flint arrow head (e), close by the 

 slab, and near it the base of a most elaborate leaf-shaped javelin 

 head (f), and then another point which we took to belong to the 

 latter (Fig. 15.) More central (g), and at the same level, was 

 a leaf-shaped arrow head (Fig. 14), a beautiful and delicate 

 specimen of flint chipping. It is, in its present state, i-6 

 in. in length, 0-75 in. in breadth, flat, and scarcely more than 

 i-i6th in. thick at the thickest point, and weighing only 21 grains.
