NOTES ON A HUMAN SKULL FOUND AT WENDON. 245 
" A remarkably fine horn of the great elk, Cervus megaceros, was also 
found in association with these bones." 
This antler, it may be mentioned, is also exhibited in the 
Saffron Walden Museum, together with a small series of other 
bones, etc., from this site, comprising the antler of a Red Deer, 
portions of the skull and lower jaws of Deer, horn core of a small 
ox, and pieces of drift wood. 
The foregoing extract only gives a detailed section of 16ft.,

but the depth to which the gravel was excavated is not stated, 
although the great height and weight of the railway embankment 
at this point would require a deep and solid foundation to be 
obtained in the gravel bed, for the culvert. Therefore, the 
approximate depth of 20ft. given by Mr. Roberts is probably 
near the truth, and the 22ft. given in the Saffron Walden 
Museum list, as the depth at which the skull was found, thus 
receives some corroboration.
