ARCHÆOLOGICAL DISCOVERY IN ΤΗΣ, (

North RIDING.-A very interesting discovery has during

the past autumn, been made at Normanby, near Middlesad brough. In order to facilitate certain of the

mining operaitions carried on at that place by the Messrs. Bell, it became

necessary to form a new roadway at a lower level than that hitherto in use, itself lower by four or five feet than the modern surface in the vicinity. During the process of the necessary excavations the attention of the engineer and

workmen was drawn to the presence of human remains. BOCK

There were many fragments of ancient pottery, portions of

two broken querns, the upper stone of a third in an unCo

finished state, and eventually even a portion of a human sa jaw, with three teeth, The bones were principally those of KCCC the ox, and, judging from the form of a skull obtained in

some degree of integrity, of bos longifrons. Some were of large dimensions, and those which had contained marrow

were, with few exceptions, broken across. There were ELECT CCCCCCCC

besides numerous bones of the sheep and deer, and a few of

the swine. Not a few of the shoulder blades of the sheep GK (CCCCCCCCC

or deer were so small as to suggest the presence in Cleveland, at the time to which the deposit belonged, of very small varieties of the breeds represented. On none of these bones did there appear to be any signs of gnawing-perhaps a negative evidence of the absence of any species of dog at

the time. There were also many small bones of various Ckinds, but too much decayed to admit of any attempt to

decide to what creatures they had originally belonged. There was one, however, at least, which testified to the presence of articles of food derived from the sea (exclusive

of others to be presently mentioned); aud that was a bone Harvard College Library

from the flapper, or breast fin, of probably either a seal or a porpoise. Some few of the larger bones showed signs of cutting, the cut parts presenting a rough, jagged edge, strongly suggesting that the cutting instrument employed had been very blunt or very rude. Besides these cut bones, one other, the metatarsal bone of a sheep or deer, was bored through transversely as well as longitudinally, the hole being

perfectly circular. All the bones, without any exception, VERO

were much coated, or their hollow parts lined, with earthy

phosphate of iron, which after a few hours of exposure TS

to the air assumed a very beautiful blue tint. Besides the bones just noticed there was a layer of shells-namely, those of the common sea mussel and the ordinary periwinkle-of six or eight inches in thickness, 14 or 15 feet in length, and of considerable but undetermined width. All the mussel shells had been opened, and in no instance did two still

united at the hinge present themselves. This shell bed lay FROM THE GIFT OF

at a depth of 12 to 14 feet below the old road, and therefore 17 to 19 feet below the modern surface. The bones, pottery,

and querns were most abundantly met with in the part of WILLIAM ENDICOTT, JR.

the deposit just above the shell-bed, and intermingled with them were twigs, leaves, sticks, chips, knots, or broken

branches of trees, charcoal, a specimen or two of wrought (Class of 1887)

wood (pegs or the like), hazel-nuts, acorns, ling, moss,

bracken, sedges, rushes, a few seeds of plants, besides wingOF BOSTON

cases of beetles, half of a small, well-wrought and polished jet ring, and a rude bone peg or two. About five feet above the shell-bed lay an ochrey-yellow band of some inches in thickness, which, with all that lay below it (to a foot and a half or two or three feet beneath the shells), gave unquestionable evidence of having been deposited in water not liable to violent commotion. A careful inspection of the who e deposit and of the surrounding locality seems to lead

to the supposition that there must have been a pool here in (

ancient times. There are reasons for assuming that the bed C C

of this pool originated in the geological movement which CCCCCC

created a fault in the adjacent bed of ironstone, which fault KCC

is shown clearly, in section, a few yards beyond the deposit. <OCCO

But as to the circumstances under which the deposit was CICCI made there is no evidence whatever on which so much as to

found an hypothesis. There may have been a species of KCC

themselves. There may have been a settlement on the verge c CC

of the (probably) steep bank which encompassed one side of

the pool, although on this supposition it is not very possible

to accouut for the equable deposition of the shells and other COOK

light matters, and still less for the diffusion of the bones, pottery, &c.,

over a tolerably wide area. It is barely probable that a family lived in huts constructed in the overhanging trees. It is, perhaps, more probable that the site of the assumed dwelling or dwellings may have been demolished, and no attention drawn to it, at a period much earlier than that of the formation of the present road, that is to say, at the time when the earlier excavations and other works necessary towards quarrying the ironstone in the adjacent bank were in process of being carried out. As to the date of these curious remains, that is also too much a matter of conjecture; but, from the character of the pottery, the querns, and the jet ring, it is assumed to be not extremely remote. They are undoubtedly Celtic, and beyond that little that is positive can be alleged. The discovery of any kind of edged implement or weapon might, perhaps, have
