“Displaying the Mesolithic – ‘Star Carr: Life after the ice’ at the Yorkshire Musuem”

Adam Parker, Curator of Arachaeology at the Yorkshire Museum

Adam Parker, Curator of Archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum, will introduce the site of Star Carr – The Mesolithic jewel in the crown of Yorkshire’s incredible archaeology.  And from here introduce the process of creating the exhibition ‘Star Carr: Life after the ice’ based on the thousands of artefacts that have been excavated at the site and the cutting edge research of the University of York team. This is a talk about decision-making, exhibition design, very delicate objects, and helping to bring an under-represented period of British archaeology into the public gaze.”
