Ha no worries, just thought I'd butt in in case you'd disappeared off :) The lecture sounds interesting. I should have organised myself and gone too.

It could well be relevant, teh thing about the changing climate. But it is interesting how people's interpretation of history alters according to their own times. I reckon that's happened a lot?

I wonder how rapidly the change from the longbarrow to the roundbarrow thing happened really. And there was technological change going on too. And communications weren't as bad as you'd think, judging by stuff that was being traded long distance. So maybe it got to the point (after a Long Time as well) that people had done with long barrows. Time for something new. Dunno. We've been burying people the same way for a couple of thousand years. It's not something that gets particularly reflected on is it. It's just What You Do With Dead People.

Just waffling, excuse me. I must get on with some work actually.
