Amazing! one shin bone, and two teeth found 39 inches lower, and we have a man who died a half million years ago. Excuse we while I doubt the accuracy of this report.

Weird, i had a midterm and i used Boxgrove man as an example for how early humanoids used climate change to their benefit. This find is actually fairly old, 1983-1996. They actually used faunal remains to date the stratigraphy. The main fossils were voles that due to their eagerness to adapt to climatic and terrestorial changes they make great analytic tools for dating sites that dont have associated charcoal deposits.
