The Transition from Rostro-Carinate Flint Implements to the Tongue-Shaped Implements of River-Terrace Gravels . rostro-carinate form. He wishes only to suggest that the knowledge of thenecessity for the provision of two flat striking-platforms in the making of a pointedpalaeolithic implement was acquired by the makers of the rostro-carinate specimens,and that this knowledge was handed on and preserved by the peoples who livedafter them. But it is necessary to emphasise the fact that the method of preparinga nodule of flint for the production of a rostro-carinate is precisely the same as thatneeded for the production of a pointed palaeolithic, river-drift implement. The flintis first of all shaped to a tabular form as in the case of the rostro-carinate (figs. 3aand 3b), and in fig. 8a the tabular piece of flint and the palaeolithic implement are VOL. CCIX.
