About This Book

The work surveys prehistoric stone tools, weapons, and ornaments found across Britain, combining typological description, manufacturing techniques, and archaeological context. It outlines methods of flaking, grinding, boring, and hafting; distinguishes chipped, ground-edge, and polished celts and related types such as picks, chisels, and gouges; and catalogues discoveries from barrows, caves, river drifts, and flint-mines. Numerous illustrations, measured descriptions, locality notes, and indices accompany comparative remarks that link British specimens with continental parallels.
