The Ancients
End of Ice Age Britain

No, again, we just don't have the sites. Certainly at the sites that we've been working on in Ebba Gorge, we don't have evidence of artefacts, we don't have evidence of cut-marked remains, and we certainly don't have evidence of people themselves.

So again, it's perfectly possible that people were making occasional forays into Britain, but we think that Britain was largely abandoned during this period.

So we're back on that warming trajectory. And again, there is rapid warming. And the early part of the current interglacial, the Holocene, is even warmer than at the present day. And then we sort of settle down to a period of relative climatic stability.

But yes, the real end of the ice age, you start to see really up in Scotland, you start to see the last of those glaciers, those ice sheets disappear. retracting and leaving behind what we call dead ice environments. So for example, lakes, you would have had the ice melting and creating a lot of lakes in areas of sort of deeper topography.

You would have had a window of opportunity for animals and people to come back into Britain before sea level rises and cuts us off completely. So, remember that land bridge that had existed for pretty much all of the last ice age? That is becoming smaller and smaller.

As that ice across the northern hemisphere melts and the water is returned to the ocean, that land bridge becomes more and more compressed and harder and harder to access. So, people and animals would have come back into Britain very rapidly.

We see things like reindeer hanging on for a little while into the early part of the current warm stage, but eventually it becomes too warm and too wooded for them to survive and they go locally extinct. Instead, we see a whole suite of fauna that we would regard as native species coming into Britain in the early part of the warm stage.
