Star Carr: Life After the Ice

Professor Nicky Milner, Department of Archaeology, University of York

This talk is the first in a series to accompany the Star Carr exhibition in the Yorkshire Museum. The Mesolithic site of Star Carr was found near Scarborough in North Yorkshire and is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world! It has revealed Britain’s earliest known house, the oldest carpentry in Europe and the oldest complete bow in the world. In this lecture, find out more about how the discovery was made, and the history of investigations and get a sense of what life might have been like 11,000 years ago!

7pm in the Tempest Anderson Lecture Theatre in the Yorkshire Museum on Wednesday 11th September.
