Text Appearing Before Image:
inches long and 1; inches broad.They are entirely unpolished, withthe sides nearly straight and sharp,and one face more convex than theother. At the butt-end they aretruncated, or show the natural crustof the ilint. • The cutting edge atthe other end is approximately inone plane at right angles to the axis of the blade, and is chipped hollow,so that the edge is like that of a carp enters gouge. The next specimen, Fig. 115, is less decidedly gouge-like in character.It is of grey flint, and was in the collection of the late Mr. Caldecott, of* Nilsson, Stone Age, pi. vi. 129, p. 54.
Text Appearing After Image:
160 PICKS, CHISELS, GOUGES, ETC. (chap. VII. Mead Street, having been found at Eastbourne, Sussex. The sides aresharp, but rounded towards the butt, which is also round. A large flakehas been taken lengthways ofl the hollow face, and it may be mainlyto this circumstance, rather than to original design, that the gouge-likecharacter of the implement is due. Most of the Danish gouges have a rectangular section at the middle ofthe blade, and the butt-end is usually truncated, and sometimes showsmarks of having been hammered, so that these implements were pro-bably used without hafting, and in conjunction with a mallet or hammerof wood or stags horn. Another and rarer form of gouge with a sharpelliptical section tapers to the butt, and may have been used for paring
