What is recorded here
Marianne on that sea was no passive girl. She wanted to know what the waves kept, so she watched the tide leave behind broken things and asked what they were. That is the origin of the local study, not a claim that she completed a modern survey. The chamber should preserve her question, because the sea still answers people who stop treating it like a background.
In 1942 burnt human bones in a beach deposit were discovered at Portraine. This deposit comprised charcoal and ash interpreted as the remains of a funeral pyre (Mitchell, G. F.1945, 112).
