Prehistoric Sussex

The story begins with Boxgrove Man, the earliest human yet recovered in Britain, and ends with the first named resident of Sussex, one Tiberius Claudius Togidubnus, Great King of the Britons and friend of the emperor Claudius. Dr. Russell examines the wealth of archaeological remains and discoveries from the 500,000 years that separate these two prehistoric people: remains that include the earliest forms of neolithic monument, such as Whitehawk Causewayed Enclosure and the flint mines of Cissbury, and the impressive Iron Age hillforts of Hollingbury in Brighton and Mount Caburn near Lewes.
