June 2010: National Ice Age Network
The project focuses on the Pleistocene (Ice Age) remains to be found in England's sand and gravel quarries. Although a resource of great importance for science and education, and of widespread public interest (e.g. mammoths, Neanderthals, climate change), these remains have often not received the attention devoted to the environmental and archaeological evidence for later periods.
