. The ancient stone implements, weapons, and ornaments, of Great Britain. ^•. I NOW come to several forms of implements wliich, thoughapproximating closely to those to which the name of celts hasbeen given, may perhajDs be regarded with some degree of cer-tainty as forming a separate class of these, the long narrow form towhich, for want of a better name, thatof Picks has been given, may be firstdescribed, as being perhaps the most closelyallied to that of the so-called celts. An idea of the prevaiUng form will begathered from Fig. 107, which representsa specimen in my own collection found atGreat Easton, near Dunmow, Essex, andgiven me by Mr. A. T. Copeland. Itssurfaces are partially ground, especially to-wards the upper end, which appears to havebeen pointed, though now somewhat lower end is chipped to a rounded outline,but this end is not ground, and the outer ormore convex face of the implement in onepart shows the original crust of the flint.
