Description

Britain's past has long been shrouded in mystery, with its prehistory often overlooked in favour of more recent historical events. However, recent archaeological discoveries have revolutionised our understanding of the country's ancient history. This book presents ten extraordinary discoveries that have shed new light on Britain's forgotten past. From major digs to chance finds, each site has revealed surprising insights into the lives of people who lived on the islands between a thousand and a million years ago. The story behind these discoveries is just as fascinating as the remains themselves, with archaeologists sharing their experiences and the cutting-edge science that has helped uncover them. By exploring these remarkable sites, readers can gain a fresh perspective on Britain's history and identity, and discover how our understanding of the past is constantly evolving.
