The pointed instrument from Snainton Moor, Yorkshire, which is shown in Fig. 244, and was kindly lent to me by the late Mr. C. Monkman, of Malton, has more the appearance of having been a lance-head. A fragment of another weapon of this kind was found in Aberdeenshire.[1505] Larger lance-heads of this form have been found in tumuli in the South of France.[1506] A closely similar javelin-head, found at Vercelli, has been engraved by Gastaldi,[1507] as well as another longer and more distinctly tanged, from Telese.[1508] A third from Tuscany has been engraved by Cocchi.[1509] A fourth of the same form, but slightly notched on each side near the base, was found with skeletons in Andalusia.[1510] In the English specimen the secondary flaking extends over the whole, or nearly the whole, of both faces of the original flake; and the same is the case with the other instruments of this class which I am now about to describe. Fig. 245 represents an implement of dark grey almost unweathered flint, found with burnt bones in a barrow at Ford.[1511] Northumberland, examined by Canon Greenwell. It has been made from an external flake subsequently brought into shape by working on both faces. Judging from its form only, it would appear to have been a lance-head; but there are some signs of wear of the edge at the |334| butt-end, which seem hardly compatible with this assumption, unless, indeed, like the natives of Tierra del Fuego,[1512] who are said to make use of their arrow-heads for cutting purposes, its owner used it also as a sort of knife. Mr. C. Monkman had a blade of this character (3 3∕8 inches) from Northdale, Yorkshire. Some lance-heads (3 and 2 1∕2 inches) have been found at West Wickham,[1513] Kent; and Carn Brê,[1514] Cornwall. [Illustration: Fig. 246.—Bridlington. 1∕2] The original of Fig. 246 was found at West Huntow, near Bridlington. It is boldly chipped on both faces, so that hardly any portion of the original surface of the flake remains. It has a sharp edge all round, which is, however, slightly abraded at the blunter end; a small portion of the point at the other end has been broken off. In character it so closely resembles a leaf-shaped arrow-head that there seem some grounds for regarding this form as that of a lance-head, though from the doubtful character of other specimens of nearby similar form I have thought it better to place it here. A much larger specimen of brown flint (3 3∕4 by 2 3∕8 inches), but of nearly the same form and character, was found by the late Rev. J. C. Clutterbuck, at Hounslow Heath. In the Greenwell Collection is one of almost the same dimensions found on Willerby Wold, and others not quite so large from Rudstone, Yorkshire. Some blades, similar in general form, were found, with various other stone implements, in sand-beds, near York, and have been described by Mr. C. Monkman.[1515]
