8."Washed up" Skeleton in Tunnelling Project


Archaeologists working on London's tunnelling transport project have unearthed some very rich pickings, from a golden discovery to an apparent tool-making factory dating back to 7,000 BC.



The ancient tool kit includes 150 pieces of flint, among them blades, and forms rare evidence that humans lived on the Thames some 9,000 year ago.
 

 

 
 
The diggers also uncovered a fair few treasures from the Roman era, including an "exceptionally well made" road, a horse shoe and a "washed up" skeleton
 
 Each piece is uniquely hand made and dated.Medium sized figurine ( 64 x 28 x 42cm.) Boxed and carefully protected in polystyrene inner packaging. Each piece is inspected before shipping in customised boxing for extra protection
