Re: The Lost Islands of Somerset' project by Andy B on Thursday, 01 November 2012

From 2011:

Radiocarbon dating of two human skulls has produced evidence of a 10,000 year old cemetery near Middlezoy. The remains were originally discovered in 1928 at a sand quarry at Greylake, a small island of hard geology in the floodplain of the Somerset Levels and Moors. At least 5 skulls and some long bones were found. Only two skulls and four tibiae fragments survive.

A large number of flint tools have also been found from the Greylake site. No other site in the country has this combination of human remains and tool evidence for prolonged activity. Analysis of the bones showed that the group at Greylake had a protein rich terrestrial diet reflecting the importance of hunting to this community.
