On another part of the site, a new find provides proof of a significantly warmer climate than Norfolk enjoys today. So what have you found, Nigel? Well, what we' ve just found here is a fragment of bone in the sands just above the gravels. Nothing you' re describing looks like bone. Can you point it out? It' s all these tiny black fragments and dark brown fragments in here. There' s a small fragment of bone there, yep. We often find fragments of bone. Hyenas chew them. They' re the only animals that consume bone in its entirety. But that would have been the wildlife of this time, would it? Absolutely. If you step back in time 700, 000 years ago, 600, 000 years ago and came to Norfolk, you' d think you were in Africa. They do leave us other clues as to their presence. Well, their droppings behind. Because they consumed bone and there' s a lot of mineral content in bone, their dropping survive very well once they' re rolling around in the gravels. And we think we' ve just found one in this section here. We only just found this a few minutes ago, but I' m fairly sure that' s what it is. It' s a characteristic shape and size, and we' ve got three others of these droppings elsewhere in the site already, so put this into a fourth one. |
