Now, certainly across Northern Europe, there were other areas that were believed to be abandoned by modern humans at the time, but of which have been demonstrated subsequently to have some limited evidence. So, it's possible that humans were making forays into Britain at that time, perhaps during the slightly warmer parts of the summer months. But we really don't have any good evidence.

We don't have any artefacts. And there is a putative human humorous from a site in South Wales that may date to this period. But certainly if people were around, they are in low numbers and they are not long-term residents. Music

It has to be lower than the ice sheets. I think you might have had some species that perhaps could tolerate being out on the open ice, so much further to the north, although we don't have evidence preserved. You might have got things like polar bear, for example, at the very highest latitudes. But really, for the herbivores, of course, they need something to eat. They need vegetation.

So they cannot survive out on an open ice sheet. They have to have vegetation. And in the case of something like a reindeer, that can be fairly short grasses and lichen that they might be feeding on. But it's not like having a herbivore. There's not a herbivore bonanza up on the ice sheet. You might have had polar bears that are predating on seals, for example.

in the way that they would do in high latitudes today. But really, everything is going to be south of that ice sheet limit.

So at the end of the last glacial maximum, we enter a period of abrupt warming. And this is referred to as the late glacial interstadial. It's about 14,500 years ago. And it marks the sort of first evidence towards a significant warming. albeit later interrupted, but a warming and really sort of, you know, the end of the last ice age. So that warming event is very abrupt.

Really, you're looking at rapid warming conditions in Northwest Europe. So the ice sheets begin to retreat. And really by, you know, sort of about 16,000 years ago, they are much, you know, they're much reduced up to the northern part of Britain.
