In Search of Cheddar Man

One of the great archaeological discoveries of the century.

Ten years ago a genealogical record was set with the announcement of a direct link between the 9000-year-old skeleton of Cheddar Man and a present-day Cheddar resident Adrian Targett.

This book explains:

• the evolutionary framework and our African roots
• the lives and rituals of late Ice Age hunters on the Mendips
• Cheddar Man in his post-Ice Age world of forests and lakes
• the light thrown by Cheddar Man on the origins of farming
• A 'must' for all those interested in Britain's distant past, especially those with a particular interest in the Mendips.
