THE CELTIC TUMULI OF DORSET. 



TABLE III. 



SHEWS THE VARIOUS KINDS OF RELICS FOUND IN TUMULI OF THE 

 THREE DISTRICTS : 



It will be seen in this Table that of the 160 Tumuli described 

 in Tables I. and II. 124 only were found to contain any evidence 

 of industrial art or relic of any kind besides the vessels of fictile 

 ware which contained the incinerated bodies or accompanied their 

 interment, as well as that of unburned osseous remains. It also 

 appears that the three districts produced the objects specified in 

 varying proportion to the number of Tumuli in each district ; and 

 that the extreme North is by far the most productive of those 

 relics. There is a slight discrepancy between the number of 

 Tumuli in Table III. and Tables I. and II., being in the latter 53 

 and in the former 56 ; which may be explained by an error in 

 tabulating the same Tumuli more than once when it contained 

 more than one kind of relic.
