Mesolithic (9600 - 4000 BC)
The Mesolithic period (or 'Middle Stone Age') in Britain dates from just after the end of the Pleistocene ('Ice Age') approximately 11,600 years ago, to the beginning of the Neolithic period about 4000  BC. During the Mesolithic period Britain slowly became an island. This was due to a warmer period which saw ice sheets melting, a rise in sea levels and covering the land bridge (Doggerland) which connected Britain to Europe. New tools were developed. Axes, which had been held in the hand in the Palaeolithic period, were now hafted onto wooden handles. They were also given smooth polished surfaces. Tiny flakes of sharp flint known as  microliths were used as arrow heads and spear points, many which were barbed. The Mesolithic period is the earliest post-glacial period known in England. It ended with the beginning of farming, about 6,000 years ago.
