@caitlinrgreen also - Cornish tin to trade for these luxury goods?
@littlerobbergrl Yes, def seems to be case---funny how interpretations move around, no? Theories once rejected by researchers now restored!
@caitlinrgreen I think the idea our ancestors slow homebodies still hangs on. For 100k years folk just as smart as us, and had boats :)
@littlerobbergrl Absolutely! Plus we (archaeologists) all kinda went off the idea of migration for a bit, post-WWII etc! Now, though....
@caitlinrgreen I think general rule is if humans can possibly go somewhere or do something, they will. Because we can :)

That amber lion head seems to be a mighty big piece of amber. How big is it in reality?
6cm in length, if I recall correctly, so smaller than it looks but still pretty big!
