These little rolls of birch bark are 10,000 years old. They may have been waiting to be used as firelighters. Or perhaps their resin was to be used as glue to fasten microliths to a bit of mesolithic technology. A lot of them were found at Star Carr. Whatever they were intended for, they are now available for your viewing delight at the British Museum. Mmm.
