A missing piece of one of the stones has been returned! ➡️ The stone 'core' was kept by Robert Phillips, who worked on the archaeological excavations in 1958. He returned it from America, just before his 90th birthday.

Did you know ‘caveman’ is just an old-fashioned term that people sometimes use when referring to hunter-gatherers and early farmers of the Stone Age. So what we really need to ask is – did these early prehistoric people live in caves?
