概要

Jim and Brenna are joined by Dr Rick Peterson to discuss the Archaeology of... the earliest northerner, ‘Ossick Lass’ a 11,000 year old early Mesolithic burial.


Rick discusses his detailed work with local archaeologist Martin Stables at a cave in Great Urswick on the Furness peninsula, Cumbria, UK. Including the discovery of a series of prehistoric burials along with tiny early Mesolithic jewellery. Ancient DNA and osteological work shows ‘Ossick Lass’ is a female child between 2.5 and 3.5 years old, buried between 9290 and 8925 cal BC, making her the 3rd oldest Mesolithic burial in northwestern Europe and the oldest burial from Northern Britain. This allows Jim and Brenna to dive down into why Mesolithic hunter-gathers would be burying people in caves, with Rick highlighting a possible European wide Mesolithic burial rite.


The Archaeology of.. is produced by the ⁠⁠Archaeology team⁠⁠ from the University of Lancashire. It is presented by Drs James Morris and Brenna Hassett. Filming and editing by Mariusz Kuczaj.
