<< News >> Stone age relics found off coast

Submitted by PaulM on Thursday, 25 November 2004  Page Views: 1726

DiscoveriesThe site of a stone age settlement, preserved under layers of silt, has been discovered off the coast of the Isle of Wight. Included in the find is a fire pit, presumed to be an oven, which was first used about 9,000 years ago.

5{nt, now thirty feet beneath the sea and 500 yards off the coast of Bouldnor, was found by divers.

The Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology hope to gather funds for a full investigation.

A small flint tool was also found embedded in a piece of wood near the oven.

More details of the finds will be given at a public lecture in Newport on Thursday.
