NOTE 



ON CERTAIN IMPLEMENTS OF STONE AND FLINT 

 FOUND IN THE UPPER CLAY. 



BY MR. A. COLLENETTE, F.C.S. 

 {Curator of the Ghiille-Alles Museum.) 



Flints recognised as artifacts, possessing a triangular section 

 and a ridge along the top, have long been known and admitted 

 as a form common to all cultures of Paeolithic times. 



Guernsey and Jersey have yielded many examples, as for 

 instance, one of pre-Chelluan age, found by me in the Herm 

 raised beach ; one found in the Mousterian Cave in Jersey ; 

 several found in the upper clay in various parts of the island, 

 and many figured in the various papers and monographs 

 published in England. 



Some of the same type worked out in hard stone have, 

 however, been refused by many as being the result of 

 accident. 



I now desire to show that some of the stone implements 

 recently found by Mr. Morgan in the clay, along with many 

 undoubted artifacts of Mousterian age, show signs of having 

 been made by shaping and adapting. 



No. 1 (left hand upper row) is an example of the flint 

 accepted implements illustrated for comparison. 



No. 2 (right hand upper row) is an implement of red 

 granite, it possesses the same shape and the same angles, and 

 in this case the angles are not those which occur in the rock 

 naturally. 



No. 3 (centre) is a worked stone in which the angles 

 natural to the rock have been used and adapted to form an 

 implement. The stone is a vein felsite.
