ABSTRACT
As the result of new discoveries, the polished axe has ceased to be the touchstone of the neolithic. A large quantity of neolithic pottery was found, and also a number of re-chipped polished flint axes, leaf-shaped arrowheads, flint saws and scraper, and stone rubbers. In Archaeological Journal Professor V. G. Childe gives an admirable statement of the continental affinities of neolithic pottery. First and foremost among investigations of neolithic earthworks, Dr. E. Curwen rightly sets Windmill Hill near Avebury, in Wiltshire. In Breconshire a number of Long Barrows have been investigated by Mr. C. E. Vulliamy. Mr. O. G. S. Crawford has also seen from the air a supposed Long Barrow near the neolithic settlement at Abingdon in Berkshire. Mr. Reginald A. Smith has given a very useful account of the hoards on the occasion of the publication of a group of flint axes and chisels found together on Bexley Heath in Kent.
