Did you know that the oldest known worked wooden implement in the world was discovered in 1911 at Clacton-on-Sea, Essex? Most likely the work of Homo Heidelbergensis 420,000 years ago? Me neither. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton...

A recent paper has gone some way to solving some of the mystery surrounding the extraordinary 25,000 year old mammoth bone dwellings of Western Russia & Ukraine. We'll be recording a show about this on Thursday so watch out for it at the weekend! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

No prizes for guessing where - but why? Actually, hunting for an 11,000 year old saddle quern from Abu Hurayra. As you do.

This is a saddle quern - but not just any saddle quern. It's the driver of the next Prehistory Guys film. Can anyone guess why?

Happy Monday 😊 You maybe won’t be surprised to learn that this morning’s podcast recording for our Patreon fans is all about how gobsmacked we are that lakeside dwellings in the Neolithic and Bronze Age Europe are so under the radar. How big does the elephant in the room have to be?

Can anyone tell me please, why don’t we hear more about prehistoric lakeside pile dwellings? Why do the LBK in their longhouses get all the headlines when folk at the same time were living over water on stilts? #archaeology #neolithic #prehistory

So so lucky to have the National Trust @nationaltrust.bsky.social Just 14 miles from us (among others) is Packwood house for example, where Sharon and I have spent most of today.

It’s weird watching Wolf Hall on a flat screen tv in a home that was a new build when Henry VIII came to the throne.

#TombTuesday. Well, eleven of them actually. In Finistere, Brittany, Barnenez Cairn is the largest megalithic burial site in Europe and one of the oldest man-made structures in the world (4,800 BCE). How come when they built early they also built big?

Well - this'll be a shocker for some! 😲 Here's the thumbnail for our latest special coming out in the next week sometime ... a heads up about the Dispilio Tablet and how a simple case of mistaken identity has led to people being wrong on the internet. Who would have thought? Coming soon! 😊

It’s that time when Rupert & I record the ‘Monday Moot’ for our Patreon folk. Still the Dispilio Tablet won’t lie down - I’m afraid it’s 30 mins of us talking about some of the rabbit holes it’s taken us down over the past few days. Step away from the origins of writing … step away …

Ah! That would explain what's going on here at the Géant de Manio, just up the hill from the Manio alignments, Carnac.

This (just to tease the special we're going to do) is absolutely NOT the Dispilio Tablet. Despite what the internet may tell you! Watch this space ...
