Since the discovery of Britain's first Ice Age cave art in 2003,
the site of Creswell Crags has gained international recognition as
one of Britain's leading Ice Age sites. For the first time the
history of the site is brought together in one accessible volume.
Documenting the early fieldwork at the site it uncovers antiquarian
discoveries such as the famous horse engraving, excavations in the
1920s that saw our understanding of our early ancestors take shape,
discusses the demise of the Neanderthals and the emergence of
Modern Man, and looks at how Creswell Crags grew as a heritage
attraction of potential World Heritage Status. In Beyond the Ice,
Matthew Beresford examines how our ancestors lived, how they
hunted, examines the tools and weapons they made and, most
importantly, what they left behind. The book also challenges the
term 'Creswellian', an isolated British culture that occupied the
fringe lands of western Europe, and instead offers hard evidence
for viewing Creswell Crags and its inhabitants as being part of a
vast Ice Age world. Finally, it looks at what happened right at the
end of the last Ice Age and examines what the changes in climate
and landscape meant to our early ancestors. Beyond the Ice will
appeal as much to the general reader as it will to the student or
scholar, as it raises fundamental questions and offers up
interpretations that apply to us all.
