About this Event
Mesolithic people living in the Middle Stone Age - or the Mesolithic period - were masters of their environment. Thanks to artefacts and research we are continuing to discover more about our ancestors and their fascinating lives, revealing they were far from the simple-minded cavemen portrayed in popular culture.
Join us at Lunt Meadows on Sunday 14th July to learn all about life in the Middle Stone Age. There will be opportunities to have a go at making important Stone Age survival items such as cordage, pendants and fishing nets under the guidance of archaeologists from the University of Chester. There will also be talks about life in the Stone Age and the chance to handle replica artefacts that would have made up a Middle Stone Age hunter-gather's everyday tool kit. This is a drop in activity so you can turn up at a time that suits you but we ask that people book on to give an idea of numbers to expect on the day.
As this event is outdoors please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy outdoor shoes. If you plan on staying on the reserve for a few hours we advise that you bring refreshments.
Donations are greatly appreciated and help us continue our engagement work and conservation efforts at Lunt Meadows.
This event is part of the Festival of Archaeology and Nature and Lunt Meadow's Mesolithic and Modern Life Project supported by National Lottery Heritage Fund.
