Capitolo 94
M. Dupont finds that the utensils of the period of Mammoth are of
an ill-mannered ago, while consisting of a poor kind of flint, and poorly
ended. But, in beds of the epoch of Reindeer, the flint
utensils consist, mainly, of well-shaped blades and
bows--with numerous bodkins or awls--the javelins or arrow-heads
--besides articles of bone and it gores as you harpoon, and teeth
of various animals he practiced as if suspended for ornaments.
Their workmanship clearly points out more abilities that that of
the utensils got from the lowest levels. But the more anymore
extraordinary discoveries of the epoch of Reindeer consist of portions of
reindeer horn, showing corrosions or incisions that I/you/they have been
traced from of the acute point, without doubt from an utensil of flint.
A small piece of horn has been cut or you/he/she has been scraped off as to introduce
the ill-mannered contour of a human figure.
Till now evidence seems to be born out the same conclusions as does
those of the British caverns, although it also shows that the men of
the Motion rather extensively occupied caverns. We have to remember,
however, that the greatest wealth of relics of cavern belongs the
so you define Cavern-man, but those wild tribes have always applied
to caverns as a place for the occasional residence.<10>
It is in France that we find the greatest wealth of relics of
Cavern-man. Mr. John Lubbock has left each other a description of the
valley of the Vezere, where these caverns happen. The Vezere is a
small tributary people of the Dordogne. "The rivers of the run of Dordogne
in deep valleys cut through calcareous strata: and while the
sides of the valley in chalk districts are generally tilting himself/herself/itself, in
this case, probably owing to the hardness of the stone that they is
frequently vertical. The small caverns and grottoes frequently happen:
besides that, as the different strata possess the uneven power of
resistance against the atmospheric influence, the face of the stone
it is, as is, it picked up out in many places, and so 'the stone-
