• W4239093977 abstract "Revue d' Anthropologie, troisieme série, tome iv., troisième fasc. (Paris, 1889).—Examination of human bones found by M. Piette in the walled-in cave at Gourdon, by Dr. Hamy. The results of M. Piette's explorations, although of some interest, have not contributed very largely to our acquaintance with human fossil bones, owing to the fractured and mutilated condition of these finds, which, as is often the case in cave-deposits, were limited to cranial bones, the maxillaries, and one or two of the upper cervical vertebræ. The most perfect of these were found in the middle of the walled cave in débris of reindeer and other animal bones, together with carved reindeer horns, cut flints and stones, and numerous stone hatchets, chisels, scrapers, &c., these remains being similar to objects found in other prehistoric stations in the south of France belonging to the reindeer period in Central Europe. At a more remote part of the cave M. Piette discovered a deposit, containing implements of a more ancient type, intermingled with the bones of the mammoth and bear, as well as of the reindeer. The human lower-jaw, found here at a depth of 15 feet, has the special character of analogous cranial remains derived from the Naulette and Spy caves, and belonging to the most ancient type of primæval man, whom MM. De Quatrefages and Hamy include under the name of the Canstadt race.—On the gold of ancient Gaul, by M. Cartailhac. The writer gives a detailed account, with numerous illustrations, of the various gold ornaments found in France, and shows how numerous are the instances in which large and splendid treasures of older art have been irreparably lost in consequence of the finders having consigned them to the melting-pot of the local goldsmith, a practice which can only be stopped by an alteration in the state of the law regarding treasure-trove. The extreme beauty of some of the bracelets, necklets, &c., and the unique character of their ornamentation, are unsurpassed by other objects of the same kind found in different parts of Europe.—Notes on the colour of the eyes and hair in Norway, by Drs. Abbo and Faye, with tables and annotations, by M. Topinard. From these reports it appears that the population of Norway exhibits a higher percentage (97˙25) of light eyes than any other country in Europe. Flaxen hair occurs in 57˙5 per cent. of the people of the northern provinces, and while absolutely black hair is found only in the ratio of 2 per cent., red hair does not rise higher than 1˙5 per cent. in the scale of hair-coloration.—Kashgaria, by Dr. Seeland. In this notice the writer records the incidents of his journey from Kashgar to Ak-Sou, over a distance of more than 350 miles along the sandy ill-kept track that constitutes the principal military Chinese post road. The narrative lacks the interest of the previous numbers already referred to in this journal.—On the cephalic index of the Provençal population, by M. Fallot, with tables referring to the several departments, which give the varying maxima and minima in accordance with special cranial types.—Hallstatt in Austria, its places of burial, and its civilization, by Dr. Hornes. This is an extremely interesting summary of the important discoveries made within the last few years in the Hallstattian burying-grounds of Slavonian Austria, more especially at Watsch in Carniola, where the beauty and finish of the carved baldrics and belts have led contemporary palæontologists to regard them as an evidence of the existence in Central Europe of an early civilization which had already attained to considerable artistic culture before its extinction under the weight of advancing hordes of barbarian invaders. The necropolis of Hallstatt, for our acquaintance with which we are indebted to Baron Sacken, still remains unrivalled for the splendour and variety of its antiquities, notwithstanding the marvellous results of the recent Carniolian and Croatian finds. Between 1846 and 1863, Sacken and Ramsäuer published reports of their explorations of nearly 1000 tombs; while since that period the number of graves explored has risen to nearly 1900. Both at Hallstatt and Watsch the rites of interment and incineration had been followed with nearly equal frequency, but although in the case of the latter the graves appear to have been most richly supplied with gold ornaments and carved bronze arms, the abundance of yellow amber, and of decorative objects of the toilet which are found buried with the unburnt skeletons render it difficult to decide which of the two methods of disposing of the dead was regarded as the more distinguished. The cranial type is generally dolichocephalous, with a retreating forehead and long slightly prognathic face, resembling what is known in Germany as the “Reihen-gräbertypus.” According to Sacken, the necropolis of Hallstatt dates from the third or fourth century B.C., revealing the presence in those regions of the Eastern Alps of the so-called Galli Faurisci, who prior to the Roman domination must have been familiar with an advanced stage of civilization and decorative art, in which the influence of Greek art is undeniable. This is indeed strongly manifested both in the workmanship and the forms of multitudinous objects revealed by the exploration not merely of the Hallstattian tombs, but of the prehistoric station of Salzberg, whose discovery last year has added new interest to the still contested problem of the origin of the early culture of the Alpine races of Central Europe." @default.
