A year ago today I was digging mammoths. Will be migrating back to the site very soon! #tuskforce #mammothGraveyard
And I discovered in the programme that Happisburgh isn't pronounced how I would have thought it would be... #MammothGraveyard
When you see four men struggling to carry a mammoth tusk to their van, it gives you a sense of the power that mammoths had: their every day life was spent carrying around two of them effortlessly! #MammothGraveyard
"Mary, Mary, come quick! I'm sure that David Attenborough has just going in to see the neighbours next door!" #MammothGraveyard www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
If after #MammothGraveyard you want to go deeper into the archaeology of megafauna & stone artefacts in the Ice Age, Dr Kate Scott & Dr Christine Buckingham have just published their 30 years of research on Stanton Harcourt

Having enjoyed #MammothGraveyard, 6yo is playing documentaries. My husband is a palaeontologist/presenter and 6yo is wearing her T Rex costume Santa brought her. Post excavation, she is giving an interview about life in the Cretaceous.
Must say I really enjoyed watching #MammothGraveyard. Back in 2017 I borrowed a Neanderthal handaxe of similar vintage to the one in the programme - 200,000 to 250,000yo - for a school fair. Never considered it may have been used on mammoths.
La Cotte looked so perfect on BBC1s #MammothGraveyard doc this evening. For more about the work @loveheritage is doing to protect & research this Neanderthal site, watch this. 🔽 🦣 https://vimeo.com/466177482
