ARBOR LOW EXCAVATIONS IN I9OI AND 1902. 53 



including tangs and stem, which latter are bevelled on both 

 faces from median ridges to edges. The end of the tang, which 

 is very slightly longer than the barbs, is also bevelled. The 

 section across the arrow-head is biconvex, but it is consider- 

 ably flatter on one face than on the other. The cutting-edges 

 are slightly convex, owing to the fact that the barbs have an 

 inward curve. 



Not far from this beautiful arrow-head a small rough chert 

 scraper was found (plan, and plate VI., No. 37). In clayey- 

 mould, close to, at a depth of 4-6 feet (1-40 m.), the greater 

 part of a small horn of red-deer, with four tines, in an 

 extremely friable condition, was discovered; indeed, only a 

 portion of one tine could be preserved ("39 " on plan). 



In the extension cutting to the west a greyish-brown flint 

 flake, with secondary chipping, was found at a depth of 

 i-2 foot (36.5 cm.), "40" on plan, and plate VI. At "41" 

 (plan), a small chert flake was found, depth 12 cm. Of animal 

 remains, a tooth of sheep was found at a depth of 3 feet 

 (91 cm.), portion of a humerus of ox, at a depth of 5 feet 

 (1-52 m.), and at various depths several small fragments of 

 animal bones, too minute and friable for identification. 



Section 5, 10 feet (3-05 m.) wide, is situated on the west 

 between Sections 2 and 3 (plan). Like Section 3, it proved 

 to be very shallow, the limestone rock being reached in the 

 middle of the silting at a depth of 1 foot (30 cm.) from the 

 surface, whilst on the inner side of the ditch the depth was 

 only o-8 foot (24 cm.). The bottom was fairly level, especially 

 when compared with the bottom of the fosse in all other 

 parts except in Section 3. No relics were found in Section 5. 

 The photograph, plate II., taken from the north-west vallum, 

 shows, in the foreground in the right-hand corner, the position 

 of this section in its re-turfed condition at the close of the 

 excavations. 



On the east by north, another cutting, 10 feet (3-05 m.) 

 wide, Section 6, was made across the fosse. In this part, the 

 surface of the turf of the silting at the lowest part was 7 feet
