Join archaeologist Emma Stockley for a fascinating insight into her researches and investigations into this significant archaeology.Her five-week programme of archaeological digs has uncovered small pieces of stone that give clues about Dartmoor's hunter-gatherer past. The pieces could help tell us more about those who lived in the area more than 10,000 years ago, experts say. They have been found at various locations, Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) said. Emma Stockley, the project's leader, said the flint pieces give "tantalising clues" about the past. They are though to be from the Mesolithic period, between 10,000 and 4,000BC. DNPA said this was a time when rapid warming of the climate, following the end of the Ice Age, led to the spread of forests over Dartmoor.
