Home: Stone Age people: Camp sites: Convenient shelter

Caves and rock overhangs are convenient shelters. However, they are not that widespread away from Creswell Crags. Here temporary shelters and windbreaks were made from animal bones, wood and hides as people moved between camps. Hyaenas, wolves and bears live in caves, so they may have been dangerous places for humans who may have preferred camping on the top of the gorge away from the insects close to the stream.
