When such a survey is complete we shall be able to compare any flint implements found, say, in excavations of a cave or inland site, with our specimens in bags (now stored in a museum for reference). We shall be able to say with some degree of certainty whether the implement in question was made from local flint pebbles and, if so, from what locality they came. We shall also be able to say definitely that certain finer and larger implements, like axes, could not have been made from flint pebbles, because none are found big enough, and because the quality of the axe is such that it appears to have been made from a block quarried directly from the chalk. The tracing of these axes to their source is a fascinating problem which awaits solution. I will merely suggest in passing that the inquiry should proceed along certain obvious (1) The mapping of all recorded finds of flint implements and factories (especially where there is no local flint available as a source of supply). (2) The critical and analytical examination of the flint of which the implements are made. (3) The reference of the flint to its origin by a comparison of the material with vein-flint of different qualities, helped by the type to which the implement itself belongs. The result of all these investigations will be a clearer knowledge of economic and commercial conditions in prehistoric times. That is their main object.
