Since then, the archaeologists have dug out and recorded thousands of flint tools, bone knives, stones, antlers, shells, beads, awis and other clues with which they are recreating the world of the Stone Age hunters.

When he is at the bargaining table, voices rarely rise, fists seldom pound, and the loudest sound is often the Seaton chuckle. Says Leonard Woodcock.
