FIRST LIGHT OF DAY FOR 2MY?

4 Distinct hidden soil horizons exposed together possibly for the first time in 2,000,000  years. 
The bottom horizon is yet of unknown depth and when first exposed was of a more vibrant reddish
brown colour which visibly faded the longer it was exposed to daylight.

LARGE AXE / POUNDING IMPLEMENT BEING REMOVED FROM THE GLEYS



INTERFACE OF THE BOTTOM TWO SOIL HORIZONS

The cast of the recently removed large axe / pounder is easily identifiably at the interface of the two soils
Please note the root casts in the bottom horizon. These roots were carbonised ie they had experienced "Fire"
There was no evidence of any root formations above the bottom horizon. Please draw your own conclusions as we
have drawn ours. (Plesae note a full cache of our photographs reside on  the Online Archaeology site.
