Full Description
Pre 1907. Stray Find.
W. G. Clarke listed Earlham in (S1) as as one of the locations that had produced Palaeolithic implements prior to 1907 (S1). It is recorded that this material had been found by Clarke himself, although there is no additional information in this or any other source on what he had actually found.
Reference to Clarke's list is made on (S2) and in (S3). In (S3) Wymer notes that it is probably significant that no objects from Earlham were listed by J. E. Sainty in the brief summary of Norwich Palaeolithic finds he included in the report on his site at Whitlingham (S4).
