was the first to apply anthropology to the elucidation of the Wiltshire 

 barrows. The long barrows contain the remains of a long-headed, short, 

 and dark people ; and the round barrows those of a tall, round-headed, and 

 fair race.

The author [whose change of name from Lane-Fox to Pitt-Eivers was due 

 to the conditions imposed under the will of a relative] being forced by 

 ill-health to retire from active service, determined to devote the rest of 

 his life to the thorough and minute examination of the antiquities upon 

 his own extensive property in the Cranbourne Chase district. For this 

 purpose he employed a trained staff of four assistants and from eight to 

 fifteen workmen. His great result was the proving of the late Roman — 

 or more probably post-Roman — age of the two famous Wiltshire dykes — 

 Bokerly Dyke and the Wansdyke. This he effected by cutting broad 

 sections across each dyke, and noting most carefully the exact position of 

 every object found. Roman coins as late as Honorius (423 A.D.) were 

 found in the earth forming Bokerly Dyke ; while upon the old land-surface 

 on which the Wansdyke is heaped there was found a fragment of Samian 

 ware, and an iron knife and nail. The dykes may have been raised as 

 defences against the Picts and Scots ; or they may be somewhat later and 

 belonging to the early stages of the Saxon invasion.
