THE STONE IMPLEMENTS.

wring and from the neighbourhood of Dozmare Pool ; several of 
these are barbed, others are of a beautiful leaf-shaped form, whilst 
one, made from a flake, is nearly triangular, one side having a fine 
edge ; the other only has been chipped. 
Arrow heads and flakes are frequently associated with ancient in- 
terments, and have been found by Mr. Eorlase placed within urns 
with burnt bones in many of the barrows he has opened. Mr. 
Spence Bate obtained from a barrow on Hamildown a black flint in- 
strument, which was accompanied by a beautiful amber dagger 
pommel and remains of a bronze dagger. Mr. S. Bate is of 
opinion that the flint was formerly mounted as a club or axe. I 
scarcely, however, think he is right; but rather hold that it was 
used only as a scraper, and held in the hand. I have two, out of 
about a hundred, arrow heads that were contained in an urn taken 
from a barrow near Caradon. I have also a fine scraper from Three 
Barrow Tor, and some others from within the circle at the top of 
White Tor. 
There is also a beautiful little chipped implement found by 
myself on the Moor below Yes Tor. This is supposed to have 
been used for the purpose of preparing arrow heads, and is termed 
a fabricator. The specimen is one of the most perfect that has 
been met with ; both ends present signs of use, the angles of the 
facets being ground nearly smooth, as if from friction upon some 
other object. Whatever may have been the use of this implement, 
I am of opinion that the one ascribed is not the correct one. I do 
not think the polish has been given by contact with stone, but 
rather with less hard substances, such as bone or wood, perhaps 
even skins. 
The smaller implements, such as flakes, scrapers, borers, and 
cores, occur in many places in the two counties. I have found 
them on Staddon and Maker Heights, near Tavistock, and on White 
Tor; also at Dozmare Pool, Kynance, and the Land's End; and 
from the fact that they are usually accompanied by fragments, 
chips, and broken pieces, I am of opinion that they were manu- 
factured on the spot from pebbles brought from a distance, and were 
not themselves usually made articles of barter in their perfect con- 
dition. Mr. W. C. Eorlase, of Penzance, informed me that on 
Goonhilly Down, in the Lizard district, he procured a thousand 
flakes, &c, in a very short time. Mr. Spence Bate dug out a great 
quantity near Croyde, in Morte Bay ; and I have picked up on the
