Eartham Pit, Boxgrove (original) (raw)
Eartham Pit, près de Boxgrove, est une carrière de gravier du Sussex de l'Ouest, dans le sud de l'Angleterre, où on a découvert depuis 1982 de nombreux vestiges préhistoriques du Pléistocène moyen, datés d'environ 500 000 ans, incluant un tibia partiel et deux dents humaines, attribués à l'espèce éteinte Homo heidelbergensis, et une vaste collection d'outils lithiques de type acheuléen.

| dbo:abstract | Eartham Pit is an internationally important archaeological site north-east of Boxgrove in West Sussex with findings that date to the Lower Palaeolithic. The oldest human remains in Britain have been discovered on the site, fossils of Homo heidelbergensis dating to 500,000 years ago. Boxgrove is also one of the oldest sites in Europe with direct evidence of hunting and butchering by early humans. Only part of the site is protected through designation, one area being a 9.8-hectare (24-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, as well as a Geological Conservation Review site. Other key Palaeolithic sites in the UK include Swanscombe, Pontnewydd, Kents Cavern, Paviland, and Gough's Cave. The site is close to a fossil shoreline that has interglacial mammal fauna in intertidal sediments. The site was discovered by Andrew Woodcock and Roy Shephard-Thorn in 1974. They recorded the geological sequence, in-situ artefacts and fossil mammal remains. Parts of the site complex were later excavated between 1982 and 1996 by a team led by Mark Roberts of the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. The site is situated in an area that features a buried chalk cliff that overlooked a flat beach (which contained a waterhole) stretching approximately half a mile (1 km) south to the sea. (en) Boxgrove Quarry, auch Amey´s Eartham Pit genannt, ist ein altpaläolithischer Fundplatz am Ortsrand von Boxgrove in West Sussex, Südengland. Die Hauptfundschicht entstammt dem späten Cromer-Komplex und besitzt ein geologisches Alter von mindestens 500.000 Jahren. Die Fundstellen in den Kiesgruben Boxgrove Quarry 1 (Lage) und Boxgrove Quarry 2 (Lage) wurden in den Jahren 1983 bis 1996 durch ein Team des Institute of Archaeology des University College London unter Leitung von zum überwiegenden Teil ausgegraben. Der Fundplatz liegt an einem erodierten Kreidekliff. Nahe dem etwa 75 km östlich gelegenen Ort Seaford überragen die geologisch gleichartigen Kreideablagerungen (Seven Sisters-Formation) bis heute das Meer.
