Boxgrove Man

Tibia from Boxgrove

Boxgrove Man is a 500,000 year old fossil, thought to belong to Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct relative of modern humans (Homo sapiens). The fossil was discovered in 1993 in Boxgrove, West Sussex, near the south coast of England, by archaeologist Mark Roberts and his team of the Institute of Archeology at University College London. Only two pieces of the tibia (shinbone) and two teeth were found, so little is known about the subject's history. It is even possible that this was a strongly-built woman. He or she was about 40 years old, 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) tall, and weighed roughly 14 stone (200 lb). It is thought to be the oldest human fossil ever discovered in Britain.
