Lunchtime Talk: Islands in a common sea - British isles in prehistory

About

After the last ice age in Britain, the plants, animals and people present on our group of islands changed.

Many of the six thousand and more British Isles were re-colonised from the continent. But for the more distant islands, this was not possible before sea levels rose, and these islands were only later occupied.

This talk examines a range of British islands (from the Isles of Scilly to the Northern Isles) and looks at when, how and why they were colonised and how humans (and animals) survived in these small and often remote areas.

This talk is presented by Jacqui Mulville, Senior Lecturer in Bioarchaeology, Cardiff School of History, Archaeology and Religion.
