	Boxgrove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boxgrove is best known for the Lower Palaeolithic archaeological site discovered in a gravel quarry near the village.
		Comparison with ethnographic and experimental examples of stone-tool-assisted butchery has shown that game animals at Boxgrove were expertly butchered, and it is likely that the variety of animal life in the area attracted human hunters.
		Both ends of the bone show signs of gnawing, possibly by a wolf, suggesting that perhaps the Boxgrove hominids were sometimes prey to other animals.

	Houses of Benedictine monks: Priory of Boxgrove \| British History Online
		As an alien house Boxgrove was liable to be seized into the king's hands during war with France, and in 1337 the prior was ordered to pay a fine of £60 as well as an annual payment of £30 for the custody of his house.
		Boxgrove was visited in 1275 by the archbishop, who as a result issued a series of injunctions.
		30) Altogether the fall of Boxgrove Priory is a good example of the injury done in many cases to the cause of charity and education in the dissolution of the religious houses.

	Boxgrove Priory
		When Henry VIII ordered Boxgrove to be dissolved, most of the domestic buildings were demolished, along with the complete nave of the old church, leaving only the crossing section to the east end intact.
		As a lasting memorial to their generous patronage, an elaborate Chantry Chapel was built for the 4th Lord de la Warr and his wife, but this was never used for their burials as intended.
		Boxgrove itself is still little more than a quiet village on the outskirts of the city of Chichester, and an air of tranquility continues to preside over the church and the community.

	British Archaeology, no 18, October 1996: Features (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The climate of the Boxgrove warm stage can be broadly in ferred from reptile and amphibian faunas, at a local level, and from the sediments of the world's deep oceans at a global level, suggesting a climate very similar to the one we live in today.
		Boxgrove is not a single site, but consists of isolated activities on different landsurfaces that span tens of thousands of years, and cover a range of environments from coastal/marine through open grassland to cold periglacial tundra.
		Thus, of the total environment exploited by Boxgrove hominids we are only able to look at the area in front of the cliff, as any activities that took place in the heavily forested area of the Downs would have been destroyed when the surfaces and soils were moved southwards over the cliff.

		The Boxgrove people collected flint nodules from the bottom of the cliff and carefully chipped away at them to make handaxes with razor sharp edges.
		At Boxgrove cut marks have been found on the bones of red deer, giant deer, rhinoceros and horse, but not on those of roe or fallow deer; this suggests that only the larger animals were hunted.
		Boxgrove man is thought to belong to a hominid species known by anthropologists as 'Homo Heidelbergensis'.

		Boxgrove church comprises an aisled choir, a crossing tower, N and S transepts, and an aisled nave.
		The nave extension of Boxgrove respected the style and proportions of the earlier E bay in a manner which echoes the situation at Chichester after 1187, when much of the post-fire rebuilding was inspired by what was already there.
		The use of Purbeck shafts in the nave of Boxgrove was repeated in the Chichester retrochoir (after 1187), and then again in the Boxgrove chancel.

	Anglia Man - The earliest Ancient Briton
		Human remains, such as the tibia and teeth found at Boxgrove, have yet to be unearthed from older periods, but cut marks on animal bones and flints shaped into primitive hand-axes have been found at the new sites.
		The voles found at Boxgrove are from the later era, but the East Anglian ones have primitive molars, dating the site definitively to at least 700,000 years ago.
		Homo heidelergensis, as known from Boxgrove and continental sites, had a slightly smaller skull than modern man, but was more heavily built, at about 14 stone in weight and 6ft to height "In my view, it's a direct ancestor of Homo sapiens," Professor Stringer said.

	Big butcher of Boxgrove leaves a bone behind - 28 May 1994 - New Scientist

		Boxgrove was a sandy beach on which Stone Age humans manufactured cutting tools from flints.

	Boxgrove Hominins
		In 1993 a human tibia was found at Boxgrove, from a sediment overlying freshwater deposits at Q1/B. In 1996 further hominid remains were found; two incisor teeth from a single individual recovered from the lower freshwater deposits at the site.
		Overall the bone suggests that Boxgrove hominids were quite massively built, combining both height and muscular strength.
		One the basis of tooth and tibia morphology the Boxgrove specimens have been assigned to Homo Heidlebergensis, the type fossil being the Mauer mandible from Germany (right).

	Boxgrove: Britain's oldest man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In a gravel pit at Boxgrove, just outside Chichester, the remains of a man have been discovered, half a million years old.
		Only a shin bone and two teeth were discovered, but his position, under thick layers of gravel show that he is the oldest 'man' so far discovered in Britain.
		This shows very clearly the 'tranchet' tip: a blow had been struck at the top left corner removing a flake from the top quarter of the axe, thus leaving a razor-sharp edge.

		The area contains archaeology of such integrity that when combined with geological, environmental, and taphonomic data, we are at last able to study many facets of the behavioural repertoire of Middle Pleistocene hominids, rather than just the material culture they left behind.
