Stag Party
ANYONE who has travelled on London’s underground in the rush hour carrying even a small parcel of awkward shape would sympathise with the plight of a 8.8. C. producer, Paul Johnstone, who had to squeeze into the tightly-packed throng with a bundle of antlers borrowed from a zoo.
This anti-social activity was carried out in the cause of a television programme, illustrating prehistoric man’s first steps in technology, to which archaeologists in many parts of Britain have contributed. Antlers were an essential part of all Stone-Age building operations, and in reconstructing an exact copy of a prehistoric grain-storage vault, antler picks proved very efficient at digging holes in chalk downs.
