Engravings found in British county cave
Topics: General ScienceEngravings thought to be about 10,000 years old have been found in a North Somerset cave once used as a cemetery.

The inscribed crosses were found on the wall of Aveline's Hole in Burrington Combe, one of the earliest known cemeteries in the UK.
