Blick Mead was significant for human settlement

According to the Archeologist the Blick Mead which was once a large river covering the widespread flood plains is now only a spring. The presence of a large river is significant for the human settlement as it would have supported the food habits of the hunter and gathers. They have been finding of hildenbrandia, which is a rare class of algae indigenous to the spring. It turns the colour of the stone to read, making the area look spiritual and usual according to the international media.

Findings of the archaeologists 

According to the evidence found at the Blick Mead indicate the presence of hunter and gathers. The number of inhabitants residing in the city is equivalent to a Mesolithic city. The evidence also proves that the hunter and gathers used to displace from one place to another in search of food. The location of the spring in the ancient times was utilized as a campsite for the old and the infirm, while the others went in search of food. There are several assumptions cited by the archaeologist regarding the site. They believe that it is expected that the hunter and gathers might have formed complicated societies much earlier.  As of now, the site is under the threat of a highway contraction. But the new findings can certainly help the archaeologist in preserving the mesolithic site.
