The Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons and Ornaments, of Great Britain
Second Edition, Revised
The Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain is the work that put British prehistoric archaeology on a scientific footing. Sir John Evans, a paper manufacturer and self-taught scholar who in 1859 had helped confirm the discovery of worked flints alongside extinct animals in the gravels of the Somme, here catalogues and classifies the stone tools of Britain: how they were made, what they were for, where they have been found, how the Paleolithic implements of the river drifts and caves differ from the polished axes and arrowheads of later ages, and how to tell a genuine flint from a forgery. First published in 1872, the book appears here in its revised second edition of 1897, with hundreds of illustrations. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
