* It is unfortunate that the terms ‘Windmill Hill’ and ‘Peterborough’ have been retained in this work, since they were devised to suit the ‘two great families of British Neolithic pottery’ concept, effectively destroyed by Dr Smith. The term ‘Windmill Hill’, again, belongs to a time when it was thought that the ditches of the Windmill Hill enclosure preserved the whole Neolithic sequence of the area; and, in any case, Dr Smith has applied the term to a particular class of pottery (our group A 2 i) peculiar to the name-site. As for the term ‘Peterborough ware’, Professor Piggott has recently pleaded to retain this (The West Kennet Long Barrow Excavations 1955–56 (London, 1962), 32)Google Scholar to denote small sherds too featureless to assign to any particular style within the series Ebbsfleet-Mortlake-Fengate: this hardly seems a valid reason for retaining a term which enshrines a discarded concept.
