~The famous "Cheddar Man" as a facsimile skeleton relaxing at home?
I believe this is meant to be a depiction of how Cheddar Man may have first appeared to the men who found his remains. From what I've read about his discovery this diorama seems to be missing copies of the artifacts found with him e.g a wool cord tied around his neck, as well as scaping tools used to remove his flesh from his bones. I guess the cannibalistic murder/human sacrifice aspects of this important anthropological discovery don't sit well with the local agencies and politicians promoting this find to tourists and school children.
