218 Excavatiofi of the South Lodge Camp, Rushmore Park. 



the evidence derived from each separate spot as we find it, and put 

 them together piece by piece. 



There can be little doubt that, in many places in England, an 

 Iron Age — including what has been termed a late Celtic Period- 

 intervened between the Bronze Age and the arrival of the Romans, 

 but it does not follow that the use of bronze implements may not 

 have survived in some places, even up to Roman times. Even stone 

 implements, such as celts, and flint flakes, and scrapers, may have 

 been used by the poorer inhabitants. There are many objects 

 appertaining to late Celtic times in the east of England, that are 

 ill-represented here. The ornamented Celtic pottery found in 

 Sussex and the ribbed pottery, of which Mr. Arthur Evans lately 

 found a quantity at Aylesford, is rarely found here, although the 

 latter is found occasionally. No coins of any kind were found in 

 this camp, but the British gold and silver coins of this neighbourhood 

 are of an uninscribed, barbarous kind, and appear to have survived 

 quite into Roman times. I cannot conceive any district in which 

 the survival of bronze implements, up to a late date, is more likely 

 to have occurred. More detailed plans, sections, and drawings of 

 the relics discovered in this camp will be found in the first part 

 of my fourth volume of Excavations, now in course of preparation. 



Near the surface, in the camp, two grain-rubbers, represented in 

 the accompanying woodcuts, were found at J. and N., Plate I. 

 They are of a kind frequently found amongst Bronze Age relics, 

 and of a form that preceded the quern for grinding corn.
