The Food of Prehistoric Man.


Our attention has recently been called to
some curious experiments conducted some
time ago by Mr.. Charters White, NJ r. C.
s., lately the president of the Royal Odon.
tological Society of Great Britain Upon
examining some skulls dating back from
the stone age. he noted that several OF the
teeth, although quite free from carries, were
thickly coated with tartar. 1t occurred to
him that 1t would be possible by a rough
analysis to identify any particles of food
that might be embodied in this natural
concrete, and so reveal the character of the
aliment partaken of by prehistoric man.
Dissolying the tartar in weak acid, a resi-
due was left which, under the microscope,
was found to consist of corn-husk par
tcles, hairs from the outside of the husks,
spiral vessels from vegetables, particles of
starch, the point of a fish TOOTH a con-
glomeration of oval cells probably of fruit,
the barblets of down, and portions of wool.
In addition to this varied list were some
round, red bodies, the origin of which de-
fed detection, and many sandy particles,
some relating to quartz and some to flint.
These mineral fragments were very likely
attributable to the rough stones used in
grinding the corn, and would account for
the erosion Of the masticating surfaces,
which in many cases was strongly marked.
This inquiry into the food of men who lived
not less than 1000 years ago is a matter OF
great archaeological interest.
