- Abstract
The article focuses on the discovery of old stone age implements at St. Acheul, France in April 1859 by Joseph Prestwich and John Evans. It states that Prestwich was primarily a wine importer who studied geology as an interest, while Evans worked in a paper factory with an interest in geology and old coins. It mentions that only Prestwich would hold an academic post as a Professor of Geology at Oxford University. It comments on the discovery of a flint implement at St. Acheul along with extinct animal bones. It talks about corroboration of the St. Acheul discovery at Hoxne, England by Evans. It mentions that the flint implement is preserved in the National History Museum in London, England.
