Abstract:The Piltdown forgery was an attempt to fabricate an ancient human ancestor, as well as the world that it came from. An important part of substantiating that world was to fabricate the material culture of Eoanthropus dawsoni, the Piltdown Man. This paper looks at the flint tools from the Piltdown site. They reveal important clues as to how the forger perpetrated the hoax, and why certain types of artefact were included, while others were omitted. This is the first time the lithics from the hoax have been comprehensively examined since the exposure of the forgery.
