Bibliographical Reference: The following reference is published in Burkitt, M. C. Prehistory: a study of early cultures in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, Edition: 2, illustrated (Published by Ayer Publishing, 1971) p.293:
“In at least one case near Tapatanilla which was visited by the writer and M. Breuil in the early days of 1914, there are definite grooves or gutters close by the tombs such as would have been made by the polishing of stone axes.” [JD 12/5/2009]
