A WOMAN ARCHAEOLOGIST
The latest discoveries of Miss Dorothy Garrod, who for six years has been excavating a Stone Age site in caves of Mount Carmel in Palestine, while likely to change all previous ideas of the antiquity of man, will provide new evidence of the nature of women in the earliest times. It seems that these Palestine people of more than 100,000 years ago were of a considerable order of civilisation. The men possessed stone tools, and the women seem to have taken some pains with their personal adornment. Some of them were found with circlets of shells around their heads, while others possessed and wore necklaces of bone and shells. The examination of all tho specimens and skeletons found and brought back to England by Miss Garrod is only just beginning, but it is likely that it will throw light on the ways of women in those far-off times.
