Warminster, BarrOW near. Dr. Charles White, in a lecture to 



the Members of the Camera Club, quoted in Wilts County Mirror, Nov. 

 30th, 1900, stated that he had analysed the tartar on the teeth of skulls 

 found in a barrow near Warminster. " He found the tartar composed 

 of dissolved white flour, and mingled with it grains of what appeared to 

 be sand. He also identified fruit pulp/ presumably apples. He 

 discovered minute particles of the teeth of small fish. He polarised the 

 sand, and found that some of it was flint and some quartz, etc., 

 doubtless from the stones used for grinding."
