Ce. LAMELLIFORM ARCH^OLITHE (TRIMMED 

 FLAKE), SHOWING SEMI-CIRCULAR BEVEL- 

 LED EDGE. CONCAVE AT THE LOWER 

 PART. Woiodlands (Melton Mowbray). 



It is very difficult to suppress the notion that the 

 semi-circular edge was intentional and not accidental, be- 

 cause it is not only restricted to the lamelliform group of 

 Archseolithes, but occurs in the next group just as well. 

 Sir John Evans states that to this form the name of 

 scraper has been applied from its still being used in that 

 capacity by the Eskimos. (Ancient stone implements, 

 page 643). 



Another not unfrequent type are the Lamelliform 

 Archaeolithes of discoidal shape, as shown in fig- 12. 



FIG. 12. 



Cf. LAMELLIFORM ARCH^OLITHE (TRIMMED 

 FLAXE), OF DISCOIDAL FORM; EDGES 

 BEVELLED AND USED. Old Beach. 



It is very difficult to keep this group separate from 

 group Eb., if the thickness increases somewhat, and though 

 there is no doubt about the extremes of both groups, the 

 intermediate stages are difficult to classify. 



E. CHOPPERS. 



Under this heading I comprise all those Ai'chseolithes, 

 of considerable thickness, but very various shape, which 

 are distinguished by a nice flat Pollical and a usually 

 elaborately chipped Indical face, in which the length, as 

 a rule, does not considerably exceed the breadth. 



This grouiD includes the largest number of Archaeo- 

 lithes, and it gradually passes on all sides, so to speak, in- 

 to the different groups here distinguished. When the 

 thickness becomes smaller, it is impossible to draw a shai-p 

 line between this group and the lamellifonn trimmed 

 flakes. If the Indical face is less elaborately worKed, it 

 merges into group C, if the length begins to exceed the 

 breadth a separation from group F is difficult- 

 It is impossible to give here all the forms which are 

 included in this group, and I must restrict myself in select- 

 ing a few of the most characteristic types. 



The most common type is an implement of somewhat 

 irregular shape, of considerable thickness, and more or less . 

 elaborately worked Indical face, as represented by fig. 13.
