#402: Norfolk's Deep History Coast

The Norfolk coast is also known as the Deep History Coast, partially as a result of the discovery of the skeleton of a mammoth at West Runton.

This book by John Davies and David Waterhouse looks useful.

Deep History is a term increasingly used in place of the term pre-history; and has been coined to reflect the idea that in general the deeper you delve the older things are!

North Norfolk's Deep History Coast is the 22-mile stretch of coastline between Weybourne and Cart Gap which has revealed the most spectacular finds. Happisburgh is the oldest archaeological site in northern Europe and West Runton yielded the oldest and largest fossilised mammoth skeleton ever found in the UK.

Why not visit Sheringham and the Mo museum.
