History of Dover : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Dover The History of Dover, because of the town's proximity to the Continent begins when Stone Age people crossed what was then a ''land bridge'', before the opening up of the English Channel. Since then, successive invasions of peoples have taken place. Archaeological finds have revealed a great deal, particularly about cross channel trade and the attempts of those various inhabitants to build large-scale defences against European invaders on this part of the English coast. In more modern times the emphasis has tended to be on the growth of Dover as a commercial port, both for passenger and freight ferries and for cruise ships. There is also a relatively large tourist industry built around the town’s historical sites. == Earliest inhabitants == (詳細はRiver Dour valley has shown the remains and finds of Neolithic flint implements and pottery; and the site is considered to be one of the major areas of settlement in Kent. These settlers arrived by crossing the pre-English Channel by what is termed the ‘’land bridge’’. Most such settlements occur in river valleys (see also the River Medway at Kit's Coty House). Once the bridge had been broken, later settlers had to arrive by sea, and their artefacts reveal the earliest evidence that Dover was becoming a place of trade with the Continent and Ireland. The so-called Beaker Folk were here; and later Bronze Age peoples traded in gold: one such find has been found near Dover. In addition two other finds of great importance in Dover’s history are now displayed in Dover Museum: a boat and a hoard of axes, the latter discovered in Langdon Bay, off Dover. Small Iron Age finds have also been discovered .〔‘’Kent History Illustrated’’ Frank W Jessup 1966 Kent County Council publication〕
