Research Notes - In relation to this series of photographs, Alice Stevenson has noted 'that this is most likely to be Langwith Bassett Cave was figured out between Alison Robert, Nick Barton and Simon Collcutt. They were a bit thrown by the body of water showing in some of the pictures of the cave, but Simon found on a 1918 map a record of a mill pond being in front of Langwith Bassett Cave - said millpond not on 1930s maps, but presumably still there when Garrod was working there in the 1920s. He thinks that the sluice is plausibly the built feature just creeping into the right hand side of [1998.294.681]. Garrod certainly conducted a very brief excavation there in 1927. The reference is: Garrod (1927) Excavations at Langwith Cave Derbyshire, April 11-27, 1927. Report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 303.' [PG 15/09/2011]
The manual catalogue for the Garrod collection was drawn up by Jane Callander in 1997 based on research undertaken by herself and Pamela Jane Smith, who worked as a team (see Related Documents File).
