Abstract
RESEARCHES in East Anglia of considerable general importance were described at the summer meeting of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, held at the Royal Anthropological Institute in June last. The president, Mr. J. E. Sainty, of Norwich, gave an account of investigations undertaken by aid of the Sladen trust into the contents of the Stone bed beneath the Norwich Crag, the equivalent of the basement bed of the Red Crag in Suffolk. The conclusions were wholly in favour of the human origin of the flaking upon the flints, which, from the bold character of the work upon a hand-axe from Whitlingham, was considered to date from the Early Chellean period. It appears probable that there is little difference in geological age between the Norwich Crags and the deposits of the Cromer Forest bed.
