Mesolithic/middle stone age
10,000 years ago Sunderland was a densely wooded area with a wide variety
of animals, birds, and a Veritable Wilderness.
People did live here then, but they looked much more like what we would associate with the typical stone age man, dressed in animal skins and talking an unknown language.
This period was also much warmer and drier than now much more like the southern European continent is now.
