Notes From Elsewhere

Samuel Hazzledine Warren (archaeologist; collector;
Warren was born and brought up in Essex, the son of a wholesale merchant. He entered the family business but was able to retire to concentrate on geology and archaeology in 1903. Most of his fieldwork was carried out in Essex notably at the Middle Pleistocene sites (c.400,000 years old) of the Clacton area where he identified the Clactonian industry and found the tip of one of the oldest known wooden spears. He also researched late Glacial deposits in the Lee Valley. He was a prominent member of the Essex Field Club, the Geologists' Association where he recieved the Stopes Medal and the Geological Society. He published many papers about his fieldwork and made significant contributions to early 20th century debate on a chronological framework for the Quaternary period. In 1936 he gave part of his collection, including the Clacton spear to The Natural History Museum and bequethed the remainder to the British Museum. He acquired a single artefact from Mozambique by unknown means.
