Ipswich Finds Modern Man Beneath Chalky Boulder Clay
A Ipswich discovery near a brick field alongside London clay reveals bones and flints from a preglacial era. Expert study at the Royal College of Surgeons notes a modern type of man beneath the chalky boulder clay, with a distinct tibia suggesting unique locomotion. The find ties to Galley Hill and Heidelberg remains, tracing evolution from pre boulder clay to Neanderthal forms and the Pithecanthropus erectus debate.
