TALK: Still Digging: 200 Years of Discovery at Kents Cavern

27th Jan 2027, 10:45 am

An enigmatic leaf-shaped stone tool was discovered at Kents Cavern 200 years ago by John McEnery. Who made these tools has long been a subject of debate - the final Neanderthals to live in Europe, or the first Homo sapiens to arrive? A new project, ARRIVAL, is aiming to resolve this question by exploring key sites across Europe, including returning to excavate at Kents Cavern, 200 years after the first leaf tool was found. In this talk, Helen gives an update on their first field season.
