People lived in the Thames River 9000 years ago

Rare evidence suggests that humans lived in the Thames (England), 9,000 years ago, discovered by archaeologists in the Crossrail project.

A Middle Stone Age (Mesolithic) tool manufacturing site with 150 flint stones was found at the tunnel construction site at Woolwich.

Archaeologists say prehistoric Londoners used this place to prepare pebbles to be later made into flint. Gold coins were also found in today's Liverpool street area.

According to archaeologists, how such a rare gold object is present in such a place that is then thought of as poverty is still a mystery. They believe that 16th-century coins are used only as decorations, just like the nobles or royalty often wear.

Also in Liverpool Street, a very beautiful road in Roman times was discovered, accompanied by a piece of human bone found on the foundation of the road.

Next year, archaeologists will begin excavating 3,000 remains from Bedlam, a 17th-century burial site near Liverpool Street.

Scientists are very hopeful that when they begin to conduct large-scale excavations to remove the remains, they will find the Roman path along with the foundations of Roman buildings along the road. .

Scientist Jay Carver, the head of Crossrail's archaeological team, said: 'This is a very interesting discovery, it shows evidence of people returning to England, especially in the following Thames River Valley. a long hiatus during the Ice Age ".
