The palaeolithic people of Britain

For the past 900,000 years humans have thrived in a diversity of landscapes throughout Great Britain. This course examines the evidence that archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists have unearthed throughout the island. We begin with the earliest evidence of humanity at the site of Happisburgh (pronounced Haysbora), Norfolk to the rich archaeological remains at the 500,000 year old site of Boxgrove to the mammoths of Trafalgar Square, 100,000 years ago.
