Thanks. And thanks to Stan too for his comment. Of course we don’t have the depth of human time here that there is in southern and east Africa, but in a very small area we have an extraordinary continuity of occupation, and all very easy to get to. In yesterday’s walk as well as the Roman road I passed remains from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Saxon, Norman - every period. Quite amazing. > >> On 27/10/2025 22:03, Bob W PDML wrote: >> Some photos from a circular walk today starting and ending at the village of >> Boxgrove in West Sussex. >> >> https://share.icloud.com/photos/0109kY0XrmS28UmzJtJxguMPg >> >> Boxgrove is a beautiful village, half a million years old, with a very nice >> village shop.
