Early Evidence Of Fire Found
Construction work to build a relief road for a British village has revealed one of the earliest evidences of fire in Europe, British archaeologists announced.
Charcoal deposits that might date back between 250,000 and 300,000 years ago, were discovered in Harnham, a village one mile south of Salisbury on South Wiltshire's Chalklands, England.
Excavation also uncovered animal bones, such as horse bones, and 44 "very rare" flint hand axes — the earliest form of tool used by man.
