In 1995 leading South African marine archaeologist Bruno Werz found a hand axe whilst surveying a shipwreck in False Bay off Cape Town. This was identified as an Acheulean tool dating back 300 000 to a million years, the oldest under sea find ever recorded, an archaeological oddity that raised a series of fascinating questions.
Further brief explorations of this site over the next few years revealed another hand axe and some pieces of animal bone. Realizing that this site has international significance, through SAIMA (South African Institute of Maritime Archaeology) Bruno has requested the assistance of the Dorset based Scientific Exploration Society (www.ses-explore.org) to be the first group to truly investigate this and other sites. The SES immediately accepted the challenge of launching an expedition.

bag. When travelling through Egypt their uses became much more than one would
expect!
During a break from my

paramount part in ceremonial worshiping and for general health and wellbeing. To
my surprise I was about to find out how resourceful a few essential oils could
be.
