Star Carr: Life After the Ice (Exhibition Booklet) | Ray Mears, Nicky Milner

pick

This was a quick read, being a booklet to accompany an exhibition at the Yorkshire Museum, York, about the Mesolithic settlement at Star Carr near Scarborough. It's aimed at the general reader, so no references or footnotes, but it's written by one of the archeologists working at the site & an acknowledged expert, so trustworthy. Lots of images of artefacts, and it's a signed copy, I find 😊 The exhibition is on until 2026, if you're in the area.

Bookwomble I had to listen to Julian Cope's epic space rock meditation freak-out "s•t•a•r•c•a•r" while reading it - it would have been rude not to! #BooksAndMusic
