The Discovery of Large Quartzite Implements of Rostro-carinate and Early Palæolithic Types in Uganda

Abstract

THROUGH the kindness of Mr. E. J. Wayland, of the Geological Department, Entebbe, Uganda, I have become acquainted with an important discovery, made by him in Uganda, of a considerable number of large quartzite implements of rostro-carinate and Early Palæolithic types. Mr. Wayland has asked me to publish my opinion of the cultural relationship of the specimens, of which he sends me drawings, to the beak-shaped implements found beneath the Red Crag of East Anglia, and I may say at once that there would seem to be little doubt that the latter, though possibly more ancient, are clearly “related” to the East African artefacts.
