Oh! Somehow missed this entirely until today, but luckily found it during a purge of unwholesome contacts. (Which you are not. Sorry about that.)
I read that Boxgrove book too, also his book on Flag Fen (in a bid to get myself excited about the Cambridgeshire landscape). Wish I could flint knap. I think there are weekend camps to learn that kind of thing. Will try to take Patrick one year - he'd make a great hunter-gatherer. He slew a cardboard reindeer at the Parc de la Prehistoire in the Arriege, even though all the grownups failed miserably and we had to lie about his age to get them to let him use a spear-thrower.
Have bookmarked that fossil site for future outings. Don't expect to do as well as THAT though. Wow!
