"Notes on the Fenland; with A Description of the Shippea Man" by T. McKenny Hughes is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work primarily focuses on the geological and paleontological aspects of the Fenland region in England, offering insights into its landscape and significant findings like those from the Shippea Man, a skeleton discovered in the fens. The book encompasses various themes related to the geological history, the sedimentation processes, and the ecology of the Fenland. The text provides an in-depth examination of the geographical features of the Fenland, detailing the subsidence of the region and distinguishing various geological strata such as the Turbiferous and Areniferous series. Hughes discusses the palaeontology of the area, noting the kinds of flora and fauna that existed, alongside the paleoclimate influences. The latter sections include Alexander Macalister's detailed description of the Shippea Man, highlighting its significance in understanding human occupancy and environmental conditions during the prehistoric periods in the fens. The book blends geological science with historical narratives, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding the evolution of this unique landscape.
