Title: Front garden yields ancient tools Post by: Orstio on June 21, 2006, 05:52:04 PM http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5098748.stm
The Britons of 250,000 years ago were a good deal more sophisticated than they are sometimes given credit for, new archaeological evidence suggests. It comes in the form of giant flint handaxes that have been unearthed at a site at Cuxton in Kent. The tools display exquisite, almost flamboyant, workmanship not associated with this period until now. The axes - one of which measured 307mm (1ft) in length - were dug up from old sand deposits in a front garden.
