PALAEOLITHIC FINDINGS FROM CLACTON
Tonight I have reviewed my archive of findings retrieved, in the North; from the Moss of Cruden and in the South from Clacton on Sea.
A particular specimen, which I retrieved from the pebble beaches of Clacton on Sea about 25 years ago ; appears to have the same colour and consistency of the object picked up,out of the sands at Hapisburgh.
However, the object which I retrieved shows wear which can only have been the result of many years of work by a softer material.
It does, in essence; resemble an ancient pistol type grip which fits comfortably in ones right hand and shows wear that can only be associated with a right handed human being!.
The Hapisburgh flint appears to be the finished or almost finished article and found coming out of the sand!
Our finds from The Moss of Cruden carry evidence of them being of a much earlier culture than those which I found at Clacton and which were subsequently stumbled upon out of the sands at Hapisburgh!.
