Letter to James Cossar Ewart from John Walter Gregory, 08 February 1928
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/34/2
Scope and Contents
Gregory writes that he has provisionally inserted the bed in a tabular classification as Neolithic. He believes it must be post-glacial, as it represents the silting up of valleys which were excavated at the end of glacial times, but the horse jaw is the only fossil evidence of this.
