- This paper re-examines the oldest known human footprints using techniques of computational ichnology pioneered by the authors, allowing ecovery, for the first time a ‘lost’ trackway. The work has been picked up by a number of news outlets including ‘Science Daily’, and led to our exhibiting at the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2017 (“Dinosaurs to forensics”), a book publication with Springer (“Digital Technology for Forensic Footwear Analysis and Vertebrate Ichnology” 2019) and the ongoing KTP project with a company who develops and maintains the National Footprint Database for the Home Office.
