Abstract
MAGLEMOSE CULTURE IN EAST YORKSHIRE.—The discovery of the Maglemose harpoon at the lacustrine deposits at Skipsea has led Mr. A. Leslie Armstrong to examine, in search of further examples of Maglemose culture in Yorkshire, the strata exposed by recent erosion on the Holderness coast. In the September issue of Man he describes a number of flint implements found in the course of his exploration. He remarks that “it is significant that when placed side by side with a series of the usual East Yorks artifacts from the surface, these deeply stained examples from the silt and peat beds are as distinctive therefrom in type as they are in patination, and that they can be paralleled in both patina and type only by certain implements of a dark brown and highly lustrous patina found upon one or two restricted areas in the vicinity of Skipsea and Atwick, upon elevated ground, which there is reason to believe represent former islands- in the ancient marshland and sites of early occupation.”
