Description:Excerpt from Ancient Remains, Near Buxton: Being Reprints of Papers by the Rev. J. C. Cox, LL. D., F. S. A.; John Ward, F. S. An;; And W. H. Salt, Regarding the Archaeological Explorations of Micah Salt The literature relating to prehistoric man and animals has now become very extensive. Even in one county - Derbyshire - a considerable amount of labour has been expended in the exploration of barrows, caves, and rock shelters. A good deal of that labour has been reported upon and the results published. The volumes of Thomas Bateman, Rooke Pennington, and Llewellynn Jewitt have brought the record, in the shape of published books, down to the year 1877, so far as Derbyshire is concerned. Since that time various gentlemen have laboured, physically and mentally, at the same branch of study; and none more extensively and successfully than my friend, Mr. Micah Salt, of Buxton. Professor Boyd Dawkins has visited Mr. Salt's collection, and lectured on Deep Dale Cave. He said that these "finds" of Romano-British relics were more extensive than at any other single cave in the kingdom. He strongly urged the systematic excavation of this cave, and recommended the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society to consider it. The matter was warmly and sympathetically discussed by the Council of that Society, about eight years ago, and doubtless the work would have been taken up had it not been for other and extensive labour already undertaken, such as the costly excavations at Duffield Castle, the exploration of Rains Cave, etc. Meantime Mr. Salt has gone on with his work. Under these circumstances it is considered desirable that some lasting record should be made of his labours. Not only so, but that another step should thus be taken in filling up the historical record of Derbyshire's exposition of Roman and pre-Roman times in that county, so far as the relics recovered from under the surface of the soil will permit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
