as he went out for a row one morning on the river thames in london, graphic designer simon hunt came across a rather unexpected find. lying on the pebbles and rocks of the riverbed at low tide, he discovered a human bone. when the police carbon dated it, it turned out to be more than 5,000 years old. earlier my colleague martine croxall spoke to simon hunt about how he found the bone. well, ijust put the boat in the water, it is quite low tide and the water is very clear. i could see this object on the river, probably about a foot underneath the water, and my initial thought was, i recognised as a bone but kind of assumed it might be an animal bone, and i was rowing with friends of mine, and ijust thought it would be quite funny to pick out of the water and go, oh, ifound a bone, ifound a bone! when i picked up out of the water, i was kind of staring at this, which i recognised as a hipjoint, and then i thought, that can t be. i can t think of an animal
