equally applicable to the one in question. He says:  "We find,
on to compare a champion of these stones cut with a
pebble accidentally fractured that the surfaces cut of the
first all mind toward the production of a penetrating edge, and
there is any portion of the freed stone what it doesn't add
the availability of the supposed utensil as this way;  while in the
case of a pebble that has accidentally been broken there is
necessarily every absence of sketch in him the to fracture."<33>

As the clock found on the heath, they shows, so the demonstration
the evidence of sketch that we cannot doubt that they was
produced by the hand of man. But it is not enough to know that
they is artificial, we have to also know that they is of the same

Section of Hole of Gravel.-----------


This cut represents a section of a hole of gravel to St. Acheul, on
the Sums. The utensils are almost found always in the lowest
strata that are a bed of gravel from ten to fourteen feet
often. Overlying this is beds of marl, clay and ground of surface,

there;  and if you/he/she is buried in some excavation, evident traces of this way
excavation would have remained. We can explain for them
presence there in any other way that, that when the river rolled
long to that tall elevation, and it deposited the great beds of sand,
these utensils were lost somehow in its waters, and it became
buried in the deposits of gravel.
