Patjitaniann.adj.

1936 G. 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..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.]

1938 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 24 411 The implement types—choppers, crude scrapers, flakes and cores—have exact typological parallels in the Patjitanian of Java.

1948 Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. 38 355/2 It is impossible to classify the Patjitanian in terms of the core or flake traditions recognized in other regions.

1983 Current Anthropol. 24 403/1 The only logical basis for classifying the Patjitanian as a chopper–chopping-tool industry is that the number of hand-axes is too small to classify it as an industry of the handaxe tradition.

1943 Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. 32 458/2 It was from the basal stratum of the 10-m. terrace that we extracted a few rolled implements of ‘Patjitanian’ type.

1949 K. 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.

1982 Jrnl. Amer. Oriental Soc. 102 582/2 The ‘Patjitanian Culture’ became established as the cultural equivalent of Homo erectus in Indonesia.
