Star Carr

Japanese: スター･カー（英語表記）Star Carr

This is an archaeological site from the early Mesolithic Magremosian culture, located 8km south of Scarborough in Yorkshire, close to the east coast of England facing the North Sea. Carbon-14 dating dates it to 7500 BC. In a lakeside marshland overgrown with reeds and surrounded by birch forest, birch trunks and branches were laid out over an area of 200m2, with soil and stones added to create a foundation, and it seems that four or five "families" lived there from winter through April. The population was estimated from the total number of animal bones, and the period of residence was assumed from the presence of deer skulls, which naturally shed their horns between January and April.

北海に面するイギリスの東岸に近い，ヨークシャーのスカーバラ市南方8kmにある中石器時代マグレモーゼ文化初頭の遺跡。炭素14法年代で前7500年。カンバ林に囲まれたヨシの茂る湖辺の湿地に，200m2の範囲にわたってカンバの幹･枝を敷き，土や石を置いて基礎を作り，4～5の〈家族〉が冬から4月にかけて住んだらしい。人口は獣骨総量からの推定，また居住期間は1～4月に自然に脱角するシカの頭骨の存在などからの想定である。
