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...

The results combine advanced technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and probabilistic analysis to uncover the role of these funerary monuments in shaping the territory during the Recent Prehistory.
