KELIQTILE AQTJITANICJE. 



Fi"s. la and li. Blackish-brown, glazed flint. Boldly chipped all over. Neatly 

 pear-shaped. Edge entire, and very thin at the apex. [The rounded butt has 

 not quite its full dimensions given in the figure.] 

 From Le Moustier. 



Fig. 2. Blackish-grey flint, slightly glazed. Leaf-shaped or acute-ovate ; sharp- 

 edged, pointed, and symmetrical at the apex ; rough at the butt. Very care- 

 fully dressed out of a flake, the " bulb " of which, situated under the rough por- 

 tion in the lower left-hand portion of the figure, and oblique to the long axis of 

 the weapon, has been reduced by chipping. This is a remarkably symmetrical 

 example of the flake tools so common at Le Moustier, and found, indeed, more 

 or less abundantly even in the surface-soil of the British Islands and elsewhere ; 

 to such implements we have already alluded at pages 117 and 119. 

 From Le Moustier. 



Fig. 3. Mottled grey by weathering ; roughly rhomboidal ; thin-edged at the apex 

 (two opposite parts of the edge have been freshly fractured). The butt is where 

 the " bulb " was broken away. 

 From Le Moustier. 



Fig. 4. A piece of a straight, thick, broad flake ; grey-mottled ; slipper-shaped ; 

 smooth and subconvex below, ridged above ; carefully trimmed along its 

 slightly convex sides and broadly chisel-shaped apex to a uniform solid cutting 

 edge. The butt is truncate (the flake-end), and has been thinned by chipping 

 above and by the removal of the " bulb " below. 

 From Le Moustier. 



Fig. 5. Translucent light-brown flint, whitened and opake by surface-change. 

 Elongate leaf-shaped, with a tolerably sharp apex and a short stalk-like tang. 

 Symmetrical and thin, having been carefully chipped on both faces. 

 From Le Moustier (?).
