EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of 21 Barbed Points, meticulously crafted from Raindeer Antler, discovered at Star Carr, a Mesolithic settlement nestled in the picturesque landscape of Yorkshire, England. Dating back to the Mesolithic period, around 9000-7000 BC, these points are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our prehistoric ancestors. The Barbed Points, also known as Star Carr Points, were likely used as spearheads or arrowheads for hunting. The intricate barbs on these points would have ensured that the projectiles remained attached to their prey, increasing the chances of a successful hunt. The use of antler, a renewable resource, demonstrates the early humans' sustainable approach to tool-making. Star Carr is considered one of the most significant Mesolithic sites in Europe, providing valuable insights into the lives of our early ancestors. The settlement was home to a community that thrived on fishing, hunting, and gathering, leaving behind a wealth of artifacts that have helped archaeologists piece together the story of life during the Mesolithic era. This print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the past, connecting us to our ancestors and their remarkable achievements. The Barbed Points of Star Carr are a powerful reminder of the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and adaptability of early humans, who were able to create tools that would enable them to survive and thrive in the challenging environments of the Stone Age.
