About

Seven years ago, Clacton and Holland beaches were replenished with sand and gravel from ten miles offshore. Beachcombers started finding fossils from mammoths and other Ice Age animals, and human-worked stone tools. Who made those flint tools? Were they mammoth hunters? Join John Ratford as we answer these questions with this talk on local prehistory.
