In a gravel pit at Boxgrove, near Chichester a shine bone was found, dated 500,000 years old, from species 'Homo Heidbergensis'. Soon
known as 'Boxgrove Man', about 20 years old at death, he lay six feet tall, the site on the edge of, named, the Goodwood-Slindon raised beach
rising some hundred feet above current sea level. The beach extended from Portsdown to the Arun River, as flowing today, and what did he know.
The tools came as flint for butchering animals. Diet featured rhinoceros, red deer, bear and fish hooked to caught : they did not know agriculture.
At Selmeston pit : 6,400 worked flints lay found. Sussex has long been the layering home of flint. Will a Goodwood-Slindon raised beach return ?
Did Boxgrove Man ever lie dusky sunbathing ?

The modern world arrived with the Romans. Only seven or eight thousand years ago, the Straits of Dover were an Estuary nearly as far as Dover until a breach from the north by a storm tide.
