DESCKIPTIONS OF THE PLATES STONE IMPLEMENTS. 73 



A. STONE IMPLEMENTS. 



A. PLATE XV. 



The specimens here figured are flakes of Flint, bearing more or less of the 

 usual " glaze " of age, which have mostly been dressed to a taper point at one 

 end; and two have had the broad end carefully rounded (figs. 3 and 8). Figs. 2 

 and 4 appear to be old fragments of flake tools. All these specimens bear marks 

 of having been used in scraping or cutting or both. 



Fig. 1. An elongate-oval flake of mottled, grey, dull flint. Tapered by chipping 

 at one end (the lowest in the figure). The edges show the marks of use 

 throughout. 

 Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 2. Part of a narrow arched flake of grey, dull flint, the end having been 

 removed by an old fracture. Edges roughened by use. 

 Les Eyzies. 



Fig. 3. A small pointed flake of grey-brown, subtranslucent flint, chipped towards 

 the point on one side, and towards the but-end on the other, to produce 

 symmetry of outline. The convex edge towards the point slightly worn, 

 perhaps by use. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 4. Portion of a long narrow flake of particoloured flint (yellowish-brown 

 and greenish-grey), somewhat jasper-like, but subtranslucent. Edges worn. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 5. A simple, knife-like, curved flake of light-brown translucent flint. The 

 thick end has been narrowed by chipping. Edges roughened by use. 

 Laugerie Basse. 



Fig. 6. A simple, knife-shaped flake of brown-grey, subtranslucent flint, slightly 

 whitened on the edge by weathering. Edges chipped and jagged by rough 

 use in scraping and cutting.
