    1. It seems like archaeologists have gotten really good at locating these layers of footprints in the last 10 or 20 years. Wasn’t there a Time Team where they were finding them in the intertidal zone on the Severn Estuary in Wales? Is there some specific technology that’s making this easier for them to find?

      Regardless, it’s such an intensely personal connection to the past, and sometimes the very deep past.

    2. Are those footprints or just something that resembles footprints? They are not in order like someone walking. Very few are in pairs, just what you would expect from randomness.
