Who would try and split a stone into two thin slabs like that?
Especially when there was a whole pile of much more portable, useable stone right next to it.

I think I can more or less accept that some of the oval cups are the real deal, but still have a problem with the ones Stonelifter labels 'canoe shaped'. As I've said elsewhere on this thread, some of those quarry marks may be ancient, but they're nowt to do with cups marks per se.


Each example on its own merit I would say. Some are. Some ain't.


why post some that aint then? I think what you're proving here FW is that you know little about RA and even less about quarrying.
