also is the name of a rock group. Related web pages include:
Tom Turrittin’s Bibliography of References
As part of a thesis project Tom Turrittin created a comprehensive
bibliography of references to the Piltdown man hoax since its exposure in
1953. For many years this site was
home to his comprehensive and well researched bibliography of references.
The bibliography pages are
no longer here; they have been moved to a new web home at
http://www.palarch.nl/NorthWestEurope/nwe.htm.
Instead, Tom has graciously replaced them with
A Piltdown Man reading list.
The Clark University Piltdown Plot Project is a large repository of Piltdown source
documents, including online copies of two books, The Piltdown Inquest by
Charles Blinderman, and The Earliest Englishman by Arthur Smith Woodward.
The summary lists all of the pages to be found in the
Clark University site.
