Wonderful.

On Sefton Sands, about twenty miles away from where I live, they have discovered footprints like these in the sand:

"Next day the Sefton Coast weather did an abrupt about-face. In a blustery wind under ominous skies I followed a ledge of dried mud 4,000 years old along the beach, looking for sets of ancient footprints that John Gramauskas had spoken of the previous afternoon. Among the two-pronged slots of red and roe deer I made out two tracks printed in the mud by human feet. I could even see a long slice at the tip of the left big toe impression, made by an untrimmed toenail.

It was extraordinarily moving to stand in the wind and gathering rain, looking along the tracks of Bronze Age ancestors as they headed from the dunes towards the obliterating sea. An image rose in my mind's eye - a hundred rusted men just around the curve of the coast, walking stiffly into the sea on a November morning before the dismantlers came for them, leaving only the prints of their flat iron feet to fade into the mud and sand."
