Palæolithic Man in North-East Ireland

Abstract

DURING our present survey, unavoidably postponed last year, of existing exposures of the glacial series in Northern Ireland, we have found a palaeolithic flake industry in flint, in situ, within undisturbed gravel beneath 21 feet of what appear to be fluvio-glacial deposits. We make this preliminary record in view of the significance of the discovery, which will form the subject of the presidential address to the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia in 1931.
