b"A half-a-million-year-old internationally significant archaeological site in\\nSussex, England, offers unprecedented insights into the life of a poorly\\nunderstood extinct human species, according to new UCL research. The findings of\\na meticulous study led by UCL Institute of Archaeology are detailed in a\\nground-breaking new book 'The Horse Butchery Site', published by UCL Archaeology\\nSouth-East's 'Spoilheap Publications'. The study pieces together the activities\\nand movements of a group of early humans as they made tools, including the\\noldest bone tools documented in Europe, and extensively butchered a large horse\\n480,000 years ago.
