Extract

Dr. Grahame Clark has in the preceding paper recorded the discoveries at Runcton Holme attesting occupation in the ages before the introduction of iron into this country. He has explained how attention came to be drawn to the site, and has testified to the vigilance and zeal with which Mr. Ivan J. Thatcher has watched its exploitation and preserved its abundant yield of antiquities. I must first of all second his appreciation of Mr. Thatcher's energy and kindness, and acknowledge my own gratitude for his help. In October, 1932, he very generously let me examine personally at his house the whole of his very large collection from the site, as well as the site itself, and he followed this up by submitting a large series of pottery, fully representative of all the classes which we had recognized in the material, for closer study by me in the British Museum. He has since kept me in close touch with all subsequent discoveries, and his support has been indispensable in the composition, and especially in ensuring the full illustration, of this paper. The drawings are the work of Mr. F. Cottrill, whose scholarly and sympathetic work is its own best testimonial. All the pieces here figured are deposited, numbered as in these pages, in the University Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Cambridge. Mr. Thatcher's kindness has also enabled a type-series to be lodged in the British Museum.
