Description

1864.. EVANS FLINT IMPLEMENTS IN HANTS AND WILTS. 191
angular and subangular gravel in a red clayey matrix, almost un-
stratified, but with a few loamy patches. The stones are prin-
cipally chalk-flints with a few Greensand pebbles and Tertiary
sandstone blocks, some of them nine or ten inches long. Its thick-
ness is about ten or twelve feet. Though less distinctly stratified
than the gravels of Moulin Quignon, there is a strong general re-
semblance to them. I have not got the exact measurements of this
chalk-ridge, but near the Cemetery it probably attains a height of at
least 100 feet above the level of the river, and the surface of the
gravel-beds of which I have been speaking may be about 20 feet
lower. As we descend the hill we find the chalk in places coming
almost to the surface, but at the railway-bridge it is seen that the
cutting has been carried through beds of brick-earth and gravel,
resting on flinty chalk-rubble, similar to those exhibited in Mr.
Harding's brick-pit nearer Salisbury. These beds are continued
down to the bottom of the valley, and may be traced in various
clay-pits on the south of the Wilton road.
The relation of the high-level gravels (in which the Implements
were found) to these lower beds will be best seen in the Section. I

may add that Mr. Prestwich informs me that there are similar
high-level gravels on the eastern side of the valley of the Avon near
Salisbury. It is needless to enter into any description of the geolo-
gical character of the low-level beds of drift, as they have already
been fully described in the paper by Mr. Prestwich*, to which I
have before referred. As, however, the careful researches of Dr.
Blackmore have considerably extended the fauna of this deposit since
that paper was written, it will be well to give an amended list of the
organic remains found in it.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
