The Boxgrove Horse Butchery Site with Dr. Matt Pope - TAS 100
A half-a-million-year-old internationally significant archaeological site in Sussex, England, offers unprecedented insights into the life of a poorly understood extinct human species, according to new UCL research. The findings of a meticulous study led by UCL Institute of Archaeology are detailed in a ground-breaking new book 'The Horse Butchery Site', published by UCL Archaeology South-East's 'Spoilheap Publications'. The study pieces together the activities and movements of a group of early humans as they made tools, including the oldest bone tools documented in Europe, and extensively butchered a large horse 480,000 years ago. Project lead, Dr Matthew Pope (UCL Institute of Archaeology) is our guest today. Links * The Horse Butchery Site: a high resolution record of Lower Palaeolithic hominin behaviour at Boxgrove, UK.
