Skulls/Anatomy: Fossilized British Wolf Skull (Canis lupus lupus), est - 20-30,000 years old, this skull was found in the clay banks of the River Thames London in 2011. In medieval times the range of the wolf covered a large part of Europe. Since then human settlement together with constant hunting has resulted in complete extermination of the wolf in most areas. Records of wolves can be found in many places, for example, in the British Isles. Records many centuries old are still extant. Probably one of the earliest references is contained in a manuscript at the British Museum. A genealogy of Anglo-Saxon dynasties records the East Anglian founder of a dynasty called ''Wuffa'' and his tribe, who were known as ''Wuffings'' (Wolf people). These genealogies were written in A.D. 800 and Wuffa is thought to have ruled about 575 A.D.

As the last Ice Age came to an end, around 10,000 years ago, the sea levels rose and Britain became separated from the European mainland. With this came the introduction of farming, and modern homo sapiens learnt how to produce food rather than gather it. These tools were used for everyday use in food preparation, but were also status symbols and weapons.
