Ditchling Road Man
This man was named after the road-widening project that brought about the discovery of his remains in 1921. It is said he was part of the first farmers from 2,400 B.C. that arrived from Central Europe. This man’s remains showed he was malnourished several times in his life, which stunned his growth. He died between the ages of 25 and 35. He was buried with a Beaker vessel and snail shells.

Slonk Hill Man
The Slonk Hill man was found in 1968 but his death is unknown. He died roughly 2,300 years ago and was buried in a way that was typical to Britain’s Iron Age; in a semi-crouched position. Strong in stature, the man was buried above mollusks and alongside some weapons, suggesting he was a warrior.
