Star Carr: North Yorkshire's archaeological 'Tardis' 10 years onThe archaeologist who helped lead the dig that found Britain's oldest house said the site was still giving up its secrets 10 years on. Star Carr hit the headlines in 2010 when a circular Stone Age structure found was dated to about 8,500 BC. Archaeologist Nicky Milner said working on the site was akin to time-travel. "It's as close as you can get to being in a Tardis. It was an absolute dream, it took up 15 years of my life," Dr Milner said. Ray Mears, bushcraft expert and TV presenter, was one of those who helped unlock the purpose of wood found at the site. Star Carr is a Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, site near Scarborough in North Yorkshire dating to almost 11,000 years ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-53765350 |
