An ancient dwelling, dating back as far as 8500 B.C. has been
found by a team of archaeologists from the Universities of
Manchester and York in Yorkshire County in the United Kingdom.
It is a rare find that hints at having been rebuilt several
times. It may be so old that the house may have been built when
the British Isles were still part of the European mainland. A
few artifacts have been found as well, the most interesting of
which, are the tops of deer skulls which may have been used as
masks. While this suggests ritual activities, it is far too
early to begin speculating on the function of the space, or very
much else detail for that matter. There are a couple of pictures
included in the original article, which is linked to at the
bottom of this entry.
