内容説明

Grahame Clark's classic excavations at Star Carr in 1945-51 were a model for their time, but left many important questions unanswered. New research has shown that the site is almost 1000 years older than previously believed. Studies have demonstrated a complex and repeated pattern of occupation spanning at least three centuries, and have documented evidence for the frequent and apparently deliberate burning of the local reedswamp vegetation to improve lake access and perhaps attract animal populations. The new research has also revealed evidence for the construction of a substantial wooden trackway leading to the lake edge - the oldest evidence for systematic carpentry so far documented in Europe. This report shows how scientific techniques and theoretical approaches can shed entirely new light on a seemingly well-documented site.
