The skeleton was actually a replica, representing the real one found on the site when it was excavated in 1903.
The male remains dated from the Mesolithic Era (around 7150BCE), and met a violent end, although the circumstances of his death are still unknown.
The original (Britain's oldest complete human skeleton) is now in London's Natural History Museum — don't say this stuff isn't educational!
As we left the caves, Wilson asked, 'So, when are we going to meet this George bloke? I hope he wasn't that skeleton!'
