400,000 years is an awfully long time.   Going back just 10,000 makes all of the (now called) British Isles just one continuous 'French' peninsula.   So going back 40 times as long could put this dig anywhere--- north pole? Caribian?.

According to my calculations, the British Isles would have 'drifted' 12.5 miles in 400,000 years.
