early post glacial period, which becomes progressively degraded and disconnected as the sea level rises. what does that tell us about that 8000 years, it is so unusual to have layers all of that together, what do we learn from that? this layers all of that together, what do we learn from that? layers all of that together, what do we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment and - we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment and the - salt marsh environment and the footprints are in mud beds. so we have multiple beds stacked on each other and they are exposed over three comedies of beach. so it tells us that footprint beds can record ecological changes when they are well preserved. normally these studies would be looking at bones or stone tools, but we have been able to, with alison s work and the new dating work, we have been able to construct the ecological change just on the footprints. i constr
beach are exquisite. one of the beauties of the site is the preservation of the animal and human footprints is excellent. my colleague doctor alison burns has done most of the research, she is on holiday and cannot be here, it s a remarkable site. so holiday and cannot be here, it s a remarkable site. holiday and cannot be here, it s a remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual because remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual because most - this? it is unusual because most footrint this? it is unusual because most footprint beds this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span one - this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span one period l this? it is unusual because most| footprint beds span one period of time that this spans 8000 years, so it tracks from just off the ice age to even a thousand years ago. the oldest beds are mu
