Found by Mr Anthony Pryke in Happisburgh, Norfolk, UK, February 2019 near site 3.
Discovery by Mr A Pryke after the 'Beast from the East Storm' which stripped the beach of the sand and helped to erode the Palaeolithic artefacts from the ancient Thames river bed. During the time the artefacts were dropped, the Thames ran through North Norfolk and what is now Happisburgh before it was pushed down to its current position in London via the Ice age glacial melts. The site of Happisburgh in Norfolk has helped to push the history of inhabitation of the British Isles back by 200,000 making it a site of special importance. -
