We are working to create resources to support Palaeolithic artefact collecting on the North Norfolk coast. Resources will include a guide on how to recognise worked flint, how best to document your finds, and a general guide to the Palaeolithic archaeology of the Happisburgh area.
Whilst we are creating our new resources you might like to take a look at some posters that we created for our Being Human event at the Wenn Evans Centre in 2019.
