    Ancient Worlds

    I recently discovered another prehistoric stone artefact from India collected by Archibald Campbell Carlyle. This one (see photo) appears to be one of the so-called Madras cleavers. The site Pathar-Kachhar is listed in Cook and Martingell’s British Museum occasional paper on the Carlyle Collection:

    ‘…in rugged country on the edge of the Vindhyas, about ten miles north of Kalinjar near Baraunda… Parari was in the state of Baraunda… this state now part of Madhya Pradesh…’ (p.93)

    What’s really troubling from my point of view is the label:

    ‘Axe head or chopper from the high Laterite deposits sometimes denuded at Saipur Ghat – Patar Kachar found by and presented to me by Mr A.C.Carlyle Late Arch Surv(ey) of India – (see spec of Limozute (?) Laterite. This stained by the Laterite+ is probably one of the oldest Pal.objects found at the top of the hill or pass in cracks of Laterite.’ (NB water staining) .

    In an earlier blog post I suggested that the labels stuck on the objects were written by Carlyle but this label says ‘presented to me by Mr A.C.Carlyle’. In which case who is ‘me’ ? Checking the O register for the entry record of this object I found out that it was pr

    1929 Obituary [1]

    CLAUDE WILLIAM HILL, who died at Streatham on the 22nd June, 1929, at the age of 66, was educated at Ardingly College and at Owen's College, Manchester.

    He was then employed for 6 months in the drawing office of Sir Joseph Whitworth and Co., after which he joined the staff of Messrs. H. B. Barlow and Co., where he gained further experience in the drawing office and machine shops.

    In May 1882 he obtained a post as draughtsman with Messrs. Mather and Platt. His service with this firm lasted until 1886, and included a year in Russia.

    Next he joined Messrs. J. F. Waddington and Co., where he took charge of the electrical department, subsequently being appointed to a similar position with Messrs. Josse and Co., Port Said, who, in 1888, placed him in charge of the installation of electric lighting on the Suez Canal.

    From 1888 to 1891 he was chief draughtsman and works manager to Messrs. Charlesworth Hall and Co.

    He then set up as a consulting engineer in Manchester, but in 1892 discontinued this work and became manager of Messrs. Paterson and Cooper, and a few years later general manager of the Phoenix Dynamo Co.

    In 1897 he resumed work as a consulting engin
