Bronze Age trackway unearthed on Cleethorpes beach

[tomredmayne]

A prehistoric trackway that could be more than 4,000 years old has been discovered on a beach in Cleethorpes.
The wooden track would have been used to cross a boggy landscape and is believed to be from the early Bronze Age, said archaeologists.
It was found during a coastal survey for a project into threatened archaeological sites.

"Volunteers are to be trained to record and monitor such sites."

At this rate the country will have either insufficient volunteers or very tired ones!! Guess its the "Big Society" idea coming to fruition.

I guess it is yet another case of, "The axe is blunt, but we cannot afford to pay anyone to sharpen it"

Maybe, one day archeology will become part of general education, if there are any left to do the
tutoring. Where youngsters are seen "helping" on a dig, their enthusiasm is very clear.
