Mr. H. Durden had a chisel of the same character found at Hod Hill, Dorset, 5 1∕2 inches long, and 1 3∕8 inches broad, with the sides ground straight. The Greenwell Collection contains a flint chisel of this form 5 inches long and 1∕2 inch broad, found near Icklingham, Suffolk. It is ground at the sides as well as at the edge. Another, 4 3∕4 inches long, in the same collection, was found at North Stow, Suffolk. There is also a small chisel of hone-stone, 2 7∕8 inches long, found at Rudstone, near Bridlington, and another 3 3∕4 inches long, of subquadrate section, found in a barrow at Cowlam,[613] Yorkshire. The form occurs in France. A beautiful chisel (7 inches), polished all over, and brought to a narrow edge at either end, was found in the Camp de Catenoy (Oise).[614] It is nearly round in section. Another, of dark jade-like material (4 inches), polished all over, was obtained from a dolmen at Pornic[615] (Loire Inférieure). There are occasionally found some small chisels apparently intended for holding in the hand, as if for carving wood. One of these, from Dalton, on the Yorkshire Wolds, and in the collection of Messrs. Mortimer, is shown in Fig. 111. It is of grey flint, slightly curved longitudinally, nearly semicircular in section, with the side angles rounded, the butt truncated, but all its sharp angles worn or ground away, and with a circular edge slightly gouge-like in character. It has been ground transversely or obliquely on both faces, but the _striæ_ from the grinding are at the edge longitudinal. I have a nearly similar tool from West Stow, Suffolk (5 1∕4 inches), and one from the neighbourhood of Bridlington, Yorkshire, but the butt-end is broken. [Illustration: Fig. 111.—Dalton, Yorkshire. 1∕2] Another flint chisel, from the same neighbourhood, 3 1∕2 inches long and 7∕8 inch wide, in my collection, presents the peculiarity of having the butt-end ground to a sharp narrow semicircular edge, the principal edge at the other end being broader and less curved. There can be |177| little doubt of this having been merely a hand tool. A portion of the edge at the narrow end is worn away as if by scraping bone or something equally hard. This wearing away does not extend to the end of the tool. Another specimen from Yorkshire is in the Blackmore Museum.[616] A chisel from Suffolk,[617] ground at both ends, has been figured. The implement shown in Fig. 112 appears to belong to this same class of tools, though closely resembling some of those which will hereafter be described as “arrow-flakers,” from which it differs only in not showing any signs of being worn away at the ends. It is of flint neatly chipped, and was found at Helperthorpe, Yorkshire. I have another of the same form, but a trifle longer, found by Mr. W. Whitaker, F.R.S., near Baldock, Herts. Neither of them shows any traces of grinding. A similar chisel of flint, square at the edge, and found near Londinières[618] (Seine Inférieure), is engraved by the Abbé Cochet.
