"The most extraordinary thing is that people gathered here for 4,000 years. It’s over a period of time that is very hard to comprehend."

It's called society. Forgetting my Semitic background, I still believe the heart of human civilization will eventualy be rediscovered in Europe. PC-ism aside, of course.

Wasn't Britain under an ice sheet 10,000 years ago?

An excavation has turned up flint tools and cooking pots from about 10,000 years ago at the site on the North Downs.

Cooking pots? Made from what?
Are we talking hollowed out stones here?
Wooden bowls of some sort?

Never mind.. Pottery is the (an) answer..

Buffalo modeled in clay from a French Upper Palaeolithic cave site as well as fired and unfired figures from Dolni Vestanici in central Europe, hint to the fact that clay may have already been skillfully formed into objects at least fifteen thousand years ago (Rice 1984:3).
