EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1913, archaeologists Charles Dawson and Arthur Smith-Woodward are seen intently searching for more remains of the Piltdown Man, believed to be the oldest known Englishman, at the site of its initial discovery in East Sussex. The pair, dressed in heavy coats and hats, sift through the earth with determined expressions, their shovels poised and ready to uncover the next discovery. At the time, the Piltdown Man, a supposed link between apes and humans, was a groundbreaking find in the field of archaeology. The discovery, which consisted of a skull and a jawbone, was hailed as a major step forward in understanding human evolution. However, it was not until 1953 that the find was proven to be a hoax. The skull was actually that of a medieval man, while the jawbone was a combination of an orangutan jaw and chimpanzee teeth. Despite the later revelation of the Piltdown Man's true nature, this photograph remains an iconic image in the history of archaeology. It captures the excitement and intrigue surrounding the search for human origins and the dedication of those involved in the pursuit of knowledge. The image was published in newspapers and journals of the time, adding to the widespread interest in the Piltdown Man and the field of prehistoric studies. This photograph, with its rich historical significance and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the enduring allure of archaeological discoveries and the importance of continued research and inquiry.
