#GrimesGraves , Neolithic flint mine in Thetford, Norfolk, reopens today after being closed for 18 months. Above ground there are about 433 mysterious dimples, then you can climb underground into a deep pit. It's the only Stone Age mine open to the public in Britain. New ladder!
Looking forward to speaking and showing new work at this event next month. #talk #grimesgraves #flintmine #neolithic #Norfolk #glass #chalk #knappedflint #flintknapping #flintknapper #flintwall #flintwork

Can anyone help identify this #GrimesGraves mystery photo? It was taken during an archaeological dig circa 1910 (and before C21st Safety at Work laws). Lots of research already done so might be in a private collection.

The newly reopened #GrimesGraves exhibition features the video I filmed with Dr. James Dilley; knapping, polishing and hafting a Neolithic axehead before using it to fell a tree. It was great to see it in situ being enjoyed by John Lord, the Grandfather of flintknapping!

Below this pockmarked landscape lie 400 pits as deep as 47 feet where flint was mined between ca 2600-2300 BCE. Named for an Anglo-Saxon or Danish landholder or god, #GrimesGraves are situated on nearly 20 acres of Breckland heath near #ThetfordForest , Norfolk.
Elly Griffiths A visit to #GrimesGraves today. Extraordinary place. Wonderful visitor centre. Shame the coffee machine in #TheLastRemains was fiction.
