MR. W. G. CLARKE ON REMAINS OF THE NEOLITHIC AGE. 33 
3^ inches long, and just over 2 inches wide. This was 
chipped in the early Neolithic age, then again worked 
in such comparatively recent times that the later chipping 
looks quite modern. With these may be compared a 
Paleolithic axe found a few years ago during excavations 
at Snarehill. It is 10 inches long, weighs 2 lbs. 10 ozs., 
and is 9 inches in girth. Most interesting of the 45 fabri- 
cators is a rechipped specimen (fig. 4) of dark-grey flint, 
while on the top are some characteristic flaking ridges, which 
have with the base weathered a light blue colour. I he 
implement was subsequently rechipped, and the later chipping, 
though much battered, shows no signs of weathering. 1 his 
specimen is from Thetford Warren. Another is roughly 
triangular in shape, with an indented base, z{\, inches long 
and 2 X \. inches broad, and was found at Santon. In every 
graver but four, that is in 38, the working edge is on the left- 
hand side of the implement, in two cases on the right-hand 
side, and two implements have two working edges, being 
apparently intended for ambidextrous users. A large graver 
found at Santon has the point to the right. The grey crust 
has been allowed to remain on top, but the edge is very well 
chipped. The implement is roughly triangular, 3J inches 
long and just under 3 inches broad. Many hollow scrapers 
are of very beautiful workmanship. Thirty-two have the 
concave chipping on the side of the flake, 13 on the end, 
two have double hollows at the end of the flake, two double 
hollows on the same side of the flake, and one large hollows 
on opposite sides of the implement. 
Knives are among the commonest forms of implement, 
and some of the finer specimens are among the most perfectly 
chipped. Of 122 specimens, 20 may be classified as triangular, 
32 flake-knives, 4 oval, 26 single-edged, 28 double-edged, and 
12 miscellaneous. Triangular knives seem to be uncommon 
in most other districts, and were apparently a speciality of 
local knappers. One of this variety has also a hollow base. 
In several instances quite a large handle has been formed 
by the original crust, the cutting surface of chipped flint 
being very small by comparison. A remarkable specimen
