The oldest house 11,500 Years Old
The house is considered the oldest English house in Howick, Northumberland at least 500 years old. Researchers found an old house built during the British still a part of Europe. Circular structure is thought to originate from the stone age 8500 years BC and was near the lake.
Dr. Chantal Conneller and Barry Taylor of the University of Manchester have been working with Dr Nicky Milner of the University of York at Star Carr since 2004. The house was first excavated by the team two years ago.
According to archaeologists, the site was inhabited by hunter-gatherers after the last ice age. They migrate from the area under the North Sea and a case of animals chasing deer, wild boar, deer and large wild cattle called aurochs.
Dr. Milner said, This is a sensational discovery, and many tell us about the people that day. From these excavations we get a clear picture of how people live.
The house may have been rebuilt through the various stages. Chances are there more than one house and many people live in a place made of wood, which is early evidence of this type of carpentry in Europe.
Dr. Conneller said, It itui will change our ideas about the lives of the first settlers who returned to England after the end of the ice age. We think they lived a beautiful move, and left little trace. Now we know they are building a large structure and attached to a particular place.
Taylor added that the ancient lake was an important archaeological landscape. For an inexperienced eye, the area looks ordinary saja.Namun, using a special technique I was able to reconstruct the landscape.
This allows the properties of peat landscape heritage conservation including paddle boat, the tip of the arrow and the tip of red deer skull used as a mask. But this peat begins to dry so we are racing against time to find luruhan archaeological findings.
