Remarkable 11,000-year-old artefacts from Star Carr go on show at Scarborough’s Rotunda Museum
Objects from Star Carr, considered to be one of the world’s most important Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, sites, go on display at Scarborough’s Rotunda Museum this month.
Visitors will be able to see 11,000-year-old artefacts including an antler headdress, barbed points, birch bark rolls, flint tools and animal remains from Tuesday October 20.
Star Carr is just south of Scarborough and dates to around 9,000 BCE. It is world famous due to the preservation of rare artefacts buried deep in the peat.
