Research and responses

Please note that the Dr Henri-Martin mentioned in primary documentation is not Germaine Henri-Martin (1902-1975) but her father Léon Henri-Martin (1864-1936), as indicated by the "excavated by himself" in the Accession Book entry. Germaine Henri-Martin continued to work at La Quina after her fathers death and was also associated with Dorothy Anne Elizabeth Garrod. For further information on all three individuals please see Biographies. For details on some of Léon Henri-Martin's work at La Quina see: Henri-Martin, L. 1906. Ossements utilisés par l'homme moustérien de la station de la Quina, Charente. Bulletin de la Société Préhistorique Française Vol. 3, pp. 194-198. Further information on both Henri-Martins can be found in Biographies. [MN 02/10/2009]
