Star Carr

Star Carr is an important archaeological site in North Yorkshire, England, dating back to around 9000 BC, during the Mesolithic period. It was once a lakeside settlement where early humans lived, hunted, and gathered. Discoveries include tools, animal remains, and some of the earliest known evidence of wooden structures in Britain. Notably, the site has revealed sophisticated wooden artifacts, like a canoe and antler displays, suggesting advanced cognitive abilities and social practices among these prehistoric people. Star Carr provides valuable insights into early human life, adaptation, and the environment of post-Ice Age Europe.
