Abstract The body of evidence, both archaeological and palaeoenvironmental, for Mesolithic occupation in the North York Moors and adjacent Tees Valley was collated and assessed by the North East Yorkshire Mesolithic project (2006–2014). Five sites in different topographic locations were evaluated by the project, which also included monitoring footpath erosion in key locations in order to verify and extend the known distribution of sites. Almost 50 years on from Jeff Radley’s account of the Mesolithic period in North East Yorkshire, the project’s results provide an opportunity to review the evidence. Knowledge of site distributions across this landscape has increased and understanding of the nature of the occupation has improved but there are still questions to be answered. Directions for future research are suggested, but it may be only with detailed site investigation that we will be able to make significant advances in our understanding of Mesolithic activity within this landscape.

高地景观中的狩猎采集者：东北约克郡的中石器时代

摘要 东北约克郡中石器时代项目（2006-2014 年）整理和评估了北约克沼泽和邻近蒂斯河谷中石器时代占领的考古和古环境证据。该项目评估了位于不同地形位置的五个站点，其中还包括监测关键位置的人行道侵蚀，以验证和扩展站点的已知分布。从杰夫·拉德利 (Jeff Radley) 对东北约克郡中石器时代的描述算起将近 50 年之后，该项目的结果提供了审查证据的机会。对这一景观中场地分布的了解有所增加，对职业性质的理解有所提高，但仍有一些问题需要回答。提出了未来研究的方向，
