Thank you very much. It's great to be here.

Absolutely. I think some of the changes that were witnessed, whether it's to do with the landscape, the environment, the fauna, they're just some of the most remarkable changes that Britain has ever witnessed.

Definitely, thousands of years. So I think probably a sensible starting point is probably the period that we would call the last glacial maximum. So from about 26,000 years ago until really the early parts of the current warm stage or interglacial that we're in now.

We do. So I think it's important to make a difference between archaeological material, which would be that related exclusively to humans, so things like human artefacts, whether that's stone tools or other types of evidence, and the sort of paleobiological evidence that we might have. So things like fossils of animal bones, plant remains, shells, that kind of thing.

So, we have lots of different types of evidence that are available to us, and sometimes that comes in the form of the sediments themselves, because the deposits of sands and gravels and all sorts of things that we might actually dig into, we can understand a story of how climate changed from those.

We can also look at the remains of animals and plants, and they tell us very clearly how things change in response to climate change, often very rapid and abrupt climate change. There's also different types of evidence out there as well. For example, things like sea level rise. We know that at times Britain was connected to the continental mainland.

And then as we come towards the end of the last ice age, the sea level rises and Britain becomes cut off. So actually, there's a whole host of different types of evidence out there.
