Scope and content

Ovington Rectory, Thetford - His aim for the expedition would be to seek more definite information about the Stone Age and the introduction of iron work and gold art in Central Africa; Professor Macalester [R. A. Stewart Macalister?] believes the Lake region of Central Africa to be the source of gold art, and Professor Flinders Petrie and Professor Naville have encouraged his belief that early Egypt was influenced by people from that part of Africa.
