DESCRIPTION:Recent excavations on the East Anglian coast have 
 transformed our knowledge of the early occupation 
 of northern Europe. The work at Happisburgh has re
 vealed rich organic sediments beneath the eroding 
 cliffs. Flint tools have been recovered alongside 
 wood\, pollen\, beetles and vertebrate remains\, i
 ncluding mammoth\, extinct rhinoceros and hyaenas.
  This evidence indicates that humans were occupyin
 g grasslands on the banks of the proto-Thames\, ov
 er 800\,000 years ago\, in a cool climate surround
 ed by coniferous forest. The ability of humans to 
 cope with winters cooler than today at this early 
 date prompts questions about their technology\, in
 cluding the use of clothing\, shelter and fire.\n\
 n_Nick Ashton is a curator of the Palaeolithic and
  Mesolithic collections at the British Museum\, an
 d Deputy Director of the Ancient Human Occupation 
 of Britain Project. He specializes in Lower and Mi
 ddle Palaeolithic archaeology._
