 Minnesotta Archeologist 39(2): _____.


Instead of pulling all those musty books from their shelves (i.e. I don't
have the one you are looking for) I ran the name (note the spelling)
through search engines and found:


Lotbiniere, Seymour de 1977 The story of English gunflint. Some theories
and queries. Jl. Arms and Armour Soc. 9(1), 18 - 53 + plates [Deals, inter
alia, with mines and mining]

Lotbiniere, S. de 1980 Gunflint enquiry. Kent Archaeological Review 59, 198
- 201 [Possible sites for gunflint working identified (at least some
subterranean) at Swanscombe,
Northfleet, Chislehurst 'caves', Shoreham (near Sevenoaks), Chalk (near
Gravesend) and Greenhithe]

THE MANUFACTURE OF GUNFLINTS by Sydney B.J.Skertchly, with an introduction
by Seymour de Lotbiniere, 7in x 10.5in, 110 page reprint of this 1879 work.
