Fig. 74 gives a shorter form of implement truncated at the butt. The original, which is in my own collection, is formed of greenstone, and was found at Easton, near Bridlington. It is carefully polished towards the edge, but at the butt it is roughened, apparently with the intention of rendering it more capable of adhesion to its socket. The celt from Malton, Fig. 81, is roughened in a similar manner, and the same is the case with many of the hatchets from the Swiss lake-dwellings, which have been frequently found still fixed in their sockets of stag’s horn. |129| I have another specimen, from South Back Lane, Bridlington, which, however, is not roughened at the butt, and the sides of which have had a narrow flat facet ground along them. It is 6 inches long, and 3 1∕2 inches wide at the edge. Mr. W. Tucker has shown me a broken specimen like Fig. 74, found near Loughborough. [Illustration: Fig. 74.—Bridlington. 1∕2] [Illustration: Fig. 75.—Caithness. 1∕2] Another form presents a rather pointed, and unusually elongated oval in section, and is pointed at the butt. Fig. 75 represents a highly-finished celt of this kind made of light green, almost jade-like stone, preserved in the National Museum at Edinburgh, and said to have been found in Caithness. It is so thoroughly Carib in character, and so closely resembles specimens I possess from the West Indian Islands, that for some time I hesitated to engrave it. There are, however, sufficiently numerous instances of other implements of the same form having been found in this country for the type to be accepted as British. The celt found at Glasgow,[414] in a canoe at a depth of twenty-five feet below the surface, was of this kind. In the Greenwell Collection is one of porphyritic greenstone (7 inches), and of nearly this form, found at Grantchester, Cambridge. Two celts of this character, the one from Jamaica and the other from the North of Italy, are engraved in the _Archæologia_.[415] Both are in the British Museum. A celt like Fig. 75 (4 1∕2 inches), of a material like jadeite, is said to |130| have been found about 60 years ago at King’s Sutton,[416] Northamptonshire. It has much the appearance of being Carib. Four greenstone celts of this type, one of them rather crooked laterally, were found in 1869 at Bochym,[417] Cury, Cornwall. Another of aphanite (11 1∕2 inches) from Cornwall[418] is in the Edinburgh Museum, where is also one of the same material and form (10 1∕2 inches) from Berwickshire,[419] two others of grey porphyritic stone (9 inches) from Aberdeenshire,[420] and another of porphyrite (10 inches) found near Lerwick,[421] Shetland. I have specimens of the same type from various parts of France. In the Greenwell Collection is a Spanish celt of the same form found near Cadiz.
