CARDIFF, WALES—Radiocarbon dating indicates that footprints seen on the Gower Peninsula at low tide are 3,000 years older than previously thought, according to a report in Wales Online. The footprints, left by a group of adults and children, were discovered in 2014, and at first were thought to date to the Bronze Age. Rhiannon Philp of Cardiff University thinks the 7,000-year-old tracks were made by Mesolithic hunters, since the tracks of deer and wild boar, headed in the same direction, are also preserved at the site.
