This is a Levallois flake (dorsal view) and is stained and rolled, it also shows recent edge damage, most likely as a result of the dredging and beach replenishment process. (Photo: Simon Lewis)

At my latest count it was 12 known arrivals, followed by 11 disappearances, starting about 900,000 years ago.
The present phase started about 11,700 years ago, but even that involved many further arrivals..
