British Archaeology - The horse hunters of Cheddar Gorge
At the end of the Ice Age, 14,700 years ago, as grassland replaced the tundra, wild horses came to Cheddar Gorge followed by our ancestors, who lived in the caves. Re-enactors, dressed in deerskins, demonstrate the Stone Age survival skills of flint knapping and fire-making and show off the artefacts and human and animal bones excavated from Gough’s Cave. Other activities, on most days, include “cave paintingâ€, dig boxes, dressing up,
making pinch pots, quiz sheets and colouring sheets.
