Abstract:
Joseph Prestwich, born in 1812 in London, was to play a pivotal role in determining the unequivocal antiquity of man during a visit to Northern France in 1859. This paper considers his early career and examines how a man who geologised as a part-time distraction from a family wine business rose to become the most respected authority on Pleistocene stratigraphy in Victorian Britain. During the momentous events of 1859 the scientific community looked to Prestwich for confirmation on the association of flint implements and extinct fauna.
