Summary: From the 27 July to the 6 September 2015 the Stone Age Park Dithmarschen (Archaeological-Ecological Centre Albersdorf, AÖZA) organised a Mesolithic living history experiment in its newly constructed ‘Mesolithic Settlement’ finished last year. The experiment sought to investigate, through careful reconstruction, how people may have carried out their daily lives in the Mesolithic period...

Archaeologists from University College Dublin have built a replica of a Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age house on the Belfield campus to better understand how humans lived at the time. Replica of 10,000 year old mesolithic dwelling built by UCD experimental archaeologists on campus [Credit: UCD] The circular dwelling, with a six-metre diameter, is based on archaeological evidence from a site at Mount Sandel in Northern Ireland which dates from 7900-7600BC – this site is the earliest known evidence of human settlement on the Island of Ireland. During the Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age humans made and used a variety of wooden and stone tools (including stone axes for carpentry), and lived a hunter gatherer lifestyle. “Our reconstruction of this Mesolithic house is part of the UCD Centre for Experimental Archaeology,” says Dr Graeme Warren, UCD School of Archaeology. The Mesolithic house is located on a site on the UCD Belfield campus set aside for Experimental Archaeology. “Through experimental archaeology we are working to better understand the past by engaging materially with the sorts of things that people did in the past. At this location we have completed stone working, flint tool production, we’ve made stone axes and fired pottery, and now we’ve built this Mesolithic house.” The structure will be left to decay so archaeologists can estimate how long this type of building lasted before early settlers decided to rebuild or move on. According to Dr Warren, this type of experimental archaeological work is important because it provides scientific information about the material worlds in which people lived in the past - information which isn’t available from the surviving archaeological materials alone. You can follow progress on the project on Dr Graeme Warren’s Blog.

Frank Wiersema is a photographer who is specialized in showing what life must have looked like in various periods in history. Last year, he and Hunebedcentrum teamed up to make a photo series that showed various aspects of life with the Funnelbeaker people (the Hunebed builders). In the summer of 2015 he visited Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen […]
Lepenski Vir is the name of the great whirlpool in the middle of Djerdap, the Iron Gates Gorge, and the nearby horseshoe shaped shelf between the right bank of the Danube and the steep cliffs of the Koršo hills. Lepenski Vir is a Mesolithic site - that means middle stone age, in this case 8 000 years before the present, after the ice had begun to melt from the glaciers which covered so much of the Northern Hemisphere. It is an open air site, not a rock shelter. It is noted for the trapezoidal houses which had one of the first types of concrete as their foundations. They inhabitants ate fish, aurochs, deer and water birds. Professor Dragoslav Srejović excavated the site of Lepenski Vir. The prehistoric settlement was built on the sunny right bank of the Danube, between the steep slopes of the Koršo hills and the spring high water mark on the low porphyritic rocks which stretch down to the river.

Imagined SHG of Mesolithic Scandinavia. c.10-7,000ybp. Early in the Mesolithic, the environment was predominantly tundra and soon transitioned to a more temperate forested landscape. People adapted to these changing environments by shifting their subsistence strategies. Early Mesolithic communities were primarily focused on exploiting coastal and riverine resources, such as fish and marine mammals. As the forested landscape expanded, inland hunting and gathering became more prominent. The Mesolithic period is marked by the development of microlithic tools—small, flint tools that were often used as parts of composite tools or weapons. Various cultures are identified within this period based on their material culture and settlement patterns.
