Amazing - hyena poo. I didn't think I was going to be looking at that on the beach in Norfolk. Over the past year, Chris has discovered artifacts at this site that, when pieced together, reveal that hyenas were about to become the very least of early man's problems. We've got a beautiful example of one of the fantastically preserved remains that we've got from here. This is a fir cone that was washed in this river system 700,000 or 800,000 years ago, and it's beautifully preserved. Can you see? The evidence here seems to suggest that the humans were living here at a time when it was actually, the interglacial was turning down. It was getting cooler, and we're beginning to get things like fir and pine trees, indicating the climate is cooling down. But the people are still here, so that's a very interesting part of the story.


太神奇了，鬣狗的粪便。 我从没想到在诺福克的海滩上还能找到这玩意。过去的一年里，克里斯在这里发现了许多人类痕迹，汇总分析后，我们发现，早期人类的难题中，鬣狗只是九牛一毛。这里挖掘出了一个保存完好的样本，很漂亮。 这是个冷杉球果，七八十万年前掉进了这条河，保存得非常完好，看到了吗？ 这些证据表明人类当时生活的环境中，间冰期正逐渐过去，气温在慢慢降低。两次冰期之间，较为温暖的时期，冷杉和松树开始出现。预示着气候在慢慢变冷，但人类仍然存在，这是个有趣的现象。
