For #FlintFriday a handaxe from the waterhole site at #Boxgrove. Looking forward to talking about the #BoxgrovePeople who made these effective tools half a million years ago with @hack_history's @WW2girl1944 and @churchill_alex this evening.
If you love refitting and what to see a little more of how we pieced back together the large Horse Butchery Site refit group (#49, 'The Football') here's some footage from a long time ago, and a younger me. #BoxgrovePeople

Some very detailed coverage of the #Boxgrove Horse Butchery Site from @Davidmkeys in the @Independent

People, seen against white chalk cliffs of what is now southern England, having moved into the landscape from across what is now the English Channel.
What keeps them safe is not the horse they are eating but their shared humanity & care for each other they show. #BoxgrovePeople
So where can you read about the #BoxgrovePeople and the Horse Butchery Site in flint by flint detail?
Our amazing SpoilHeap Publication book can be ordered...
So many people over the past 32 years. Last mentions have @UCLarchaeology Director Sue Hamilton, & Faculty Dean @SashaRoseneil for creating the research environment to make this happen. And Prof Clive Gamble & @AnnemiekeMilks who both shaped how I grew to see the #BoxgrovePeople
Ok, taking breath time to give recap of #Boxgrove and call out some credits to just a few people who made this research happen. some of the more recent #BoxgrovePeople long thread maybe...
If everything goes to plan Ill be skyping into @bbc5live at 07.20, @BBCBreakfast at 07.45 and @BBCSussex at 08.20 #BoxgrovePeople
A really essential new book from one of my favourite early Prehistorians @hosfield_r.
Taking you on a year in the life of the earliest Europeans including the #BoxgrovePeople #innovation #adaptation

This morning I'm reviewing previous Boxgrove reconstruction art with @ArchSouthEast, I think this is first attempt as a recon, by (now Prof) Simon James maybe 1988. There are things we'd keep and things we definitely change today. #BoxgrovePeople
