Fairweather Eden life in Britain half a million years ago as revealed by the excavations at Boxgrove

In 1993 archaeologist Mark Roberts and his team found a human shinbone which turned out to be 500,000 years old -- and thus marked the discovery of Europe's oldest known man. This is the story, through the eyes of those involved, of over ten years of archeological excavations at Boxgrove in Sussex, England, the world's best-preserved early human site. It is an extraordinary tale of vision, determination, and ultimate triumph.

  • "Fairweather Eden is the story, through the eyes of those involved, of over ten years of archeological excavations at Boxgrove in England, the world's best-preserved early human site. Beyond the discovery of the human remains themselves, the site revealed a unique treasure of tools and fossils left behind by our earliest ancestors in an archeological context which provided many astonishing clues. Boxgrove Man, it emerges, lived in a "Fairweather Eden" in a warm period during the Ice Age, together with lions, rhinos, elephants, and wolves. The story the fossils and artifacts eventually told opened a unique window on life as it was lived by early humans in Europe half a million years ago."
