Pathways to Ancient Britain

PAB focuses on three chronological periods of human presence in Britain: earliest occupation, Neanderthals, emergence of modern humans. 👣

#ICYMI our 3D scans of hominin fossils (https://t.co/UK63Va7BIM) and prehistoric artifacts (https://t.co/nZ52O3CQFv) are now viewable online on the @Smithsonian3D website! The viewer software even has a measuring tool. 😍

#inktober2023 11) Wander. The astonishing Happisburgh footprints . Made c900,000 years ago by a group of adults & (wonderfully) children walking along mudflats on what is now Norfolk. These ephemeral traces of humans are the earliest footprints outside Africa. Mind blowing.

Look out for '🧊Ice Age: Frozen World' with @michaelastracha and @SteveBackshall coming soon - I was a scientific advisor on that one!

👣 The #Happisburgh footprints have been in the news again recently.

This brilliant book celebrates these and other #footmarks. 👣

[Jim Leary @Jim_Leary]

🎉 👏 #Footmarks is published in the US today! For those that don’t know, it is a book about archaeology and movement, footprints, paths, roads, crossing lands and seas. A celebration of pilgrims and travellers and migrants.

@BBCAmos @AdamRutherford At my latest count it was 12 known arrivals, followed by 11 disappearances, starting about 900,000 years ago.
The present phase started about 11,700 years ago, but even that involved many further arrivals..

[Chris Stringer @ChrisStringer65]

⁦@BBCAmos⁩ This covers some of those early human arrivals (and losses).. https://t.co/NXs6qt2BdQ

I’ll be discussing how #climatechange, #sealevel rise and #coastal erosion threaten to release millions tonnes of rubbish and pollution to our beaches @pintofscience @QMULGeography

[Kate L Spencer @DrKateSpencer]

This won’t be the first time I have talked rubbish in a pub all night. But I’m really looking forward to discussing @olifranklin great new book #wasteland and getting us all to think a bit more carefully about what we throw away #historiclandfill #legacywaste
