Some stunning artifacts have been discovered at the site of a prehistoric campsite that was home to a group of hunter-gatherers in Britain around 10,500 years ago. This was a time long before metal or even pottery had been introduced to this strange island.
The bundle of prehistoric artifacts was recently discovered near the town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire by archeologists from the University of Manchester and the University of Chester.
Among the finds were a number of tools and weapons made from bone, antler, and stone. One of these relics was a pointed hunting weapon that’s been carved to feature six barbs along its edge.
They also found weapons made of animal bone and antlers that have been decorated with notches and scratches, perhaps showing evidence of creativity and artistic imagination.
The recently discovered site would have once lain on the shores of an island in an ancient lake during the Middle Stone Age after the end of the last Ice Age. This location would have been ideal for hunting animals that were part of the surrounding ecosystem, including elk, red deer, beavers, and water birds.
