EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late Neolithic period, specifically to a ceremony at Grimes Graves in Norfolk. The reconstruction drawing, skillfully created by Peter Dunn from the English Heritage Graphics Team, offers a glimpse into an ancient world that once thrived within these flint mines. As we delve into this scene, it is important to note that recent research has shed light on new discoveries about the mining techniques employed here. Contrary to what is depicted in this illustration, it has been revealed that notched log ladders were actually used by miners during this era. The bronze age setting of this image adds an air of mystery and intrigue as we witness individuals engaged in ceremonial activities amidst the vast underground chambers. Their attire and gestures hint at rituals and traditions deeply rooted in their culture. Through this graphic representation, Historic England Photo Library allows us to immerse ourselves in history and imagine what life was like for those who inhabited these mines thousands of years ago. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness as they navigated their way through challenging terrain to extract valuable flint. This print is not just a visual delight but also an educational tool that encourages us to explore our past with curiosity and appreciation for the remarkable achievements of those who came before us.
