In this episode Neil takes us deep underground chasing the beautiful, ‘must-have’ raw material our ancestors craved.Travelling to the incredible lunar landscape of Grime’s Graves in Norfolk, Neil unravels the story of how, 5,000 years ago, our ancestors mined high quality flint on an almost industrial scale. Miners with a deep sense of responsibility, always giving something back for what they took from the earth - an ancient knowledge we are only just starting to relearn today. Hosted on Acast.
