Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHELLIAN , the name given by the French anthropologist G. de Mortillet to the first epoch of the
Quaternary
  period when the earliest human remains are discoverable. The word is derived from the French town Chelles in the department of Seine-et-
Marne
 . The climate of the Chellian epoch was warm and humid as evidenced by the wild growth of fig-trees and laurels. The animals characteristic of the epoch are the Elephas antiquus, the
rhinoceros
 , the cave-
bear
 , the hippopotamus and the striped hyaena. Man existed and belonged to the
Neanderthal
  type. The implements characteristic of the period are flints chipped into
leaf
 -shaped forms and held in the hand when used. The
drift
 -beds of St Acheul (Amiens), of Menchecourt (Abbeville), of Hoxne (Suffolk), and the detrital
laterite
  of
Madras
  are con-
sidered by de Mortillet to be synchronous with the Chellian beds. See Gabriel de Mortillet, Le Prehistorique (1900); Lord Avebury, Prehistoric Times (190o). s,
