- Title
Palæolithic Implements from Cambridge.
- Authors
HUGHES, M. C.
- Abstract
ONLY two implements of Palæolithic age have been recorded from the neighbourhood of Cambridge. One of these is a rude form picked off a heap of gravel near the Observatory, and the other was bought from some workmen, and was said by them to have come from the Barnwell gravel. There is therefore considerable interest attached to the discovery of an implement of this age on the plateau between Upper Hare Park and the Cambridge Newmarket Road. This plateau is part of one of the old river terraces which formerly abutted against the hills on the east, but is now cut off from them by the valley along which the railroad to Newmarket runs. It belongs to an earlier period than that of the Barnwell gravel.
