Home: Stone Age people: Camp sites

People in the Ice Age moved their camps from place to place around large areas as the seasons changed.

What do you think attracted them to Creswell Crags, one of the most northerly camp sites in Britain?

1. a seasonal visit following the reindeer or horse who were attracted to the lush pastures growing during spring and summer
2. the stream flowing through the valley
3. convenient shelter in the caves and other rock overhangs
4. the chance to meet other groups of hunters, exchange gossip, share food and other supplies and have a good time.

How would you change the cave to make it more comfortable?
