[1936G. H. R. von Koenigswald in Bull. Raffles Museum, Singapore Ser. B No. 1. 52 In October, 1935, the author was travelling with Mr. M. W. F. Tweedie, Curator of the Raffles Museum, in Central Java. During this trip we discovered on the 4th of October, a new site with big stone implements of various types, including, for the first time in Java, hand-axes... The site is near Pajitan, a town on the south coast of Central Java.] 1943H. De Terra in Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. XXXII. 458/2 It was from the basal stratum of the 10-m. terrace that we extracted a few rolled implements of ‘Patjitanian’ type. Ibid. 459/1 My impression is that the question of the absolute age of the Patjitanian industry can be determined only when the terrace geology of the region is known. 1944H. L. Movius Early Man & Pleistocene Stratigr. S. & E. Asia 90/2 The Patjitanian should be placed probably in the second half of the Second Interglacial. Ibid. 91/1 The Patjitanian implements include many large, massive forms which have been crudely worked. 1949K. P. Oakley Man the Tool-Maker viii. 70 No implements were found with the remains of the Java Man, Pithecanthropus erectus, but beds of slightly later age in Java have yielded the Patjitanian industry.., which recalls some of the artifacts of the related Pekin Man. 1964M. W. Thompson tr. Semenov's Prehist. Technol. ii. ii. 36/2 The rough hand-axes of Java (Pajitanian)..are very inexpressive stone objects. 1969Coles & Higgs Archaeol. Early Man xx. 390 A small number of Patjitanian artefacts might well be described as handaxes in African contexts. Ibid. 391 The stratigraphical position of the Patjitanian is not well-established, because much of this material is in a derived state in recent gravels of the Basoka River. 1974Encycl. Brit. Micropædia II. 887/1 These traditions [of stone tools] include..the Patjitanian industry, Java (associated with Java man at Sangiran and Trinil). |
