Boxgrove Bifaces at The British Museum


The Boxgrove Project would like to thank the team at Franks House (in particular Claire Fisher) for undertaking the final cataloguing and careful packing of the bifaces from the Q1/B waterhole site. In excess of 400 of these tools were measured, check against the inventory, re-marked and placed within indiidual place holders in drawers at the British Museum store.


Prior to packing, Claire Fisher laid out the tools for a chance to see them in their splendid totality. A truley astonishing site, the bifaces shown in this photograph represent an unparalelled collection of mint-condition tools, each one discarded within a discrete location during a fairly limited time span.
