Hi Pete,

I'd read it, but was put off by the website. Whilst I can see Brian's argument, banner headlines like "STONEHENGE BLUESTONES: NEW RESEARCH DISPROVES HUMAN TRANSPORT THEORY" and "NEW BOOK SLAMS ARCHAEOLOGY'S "FAIRY TALE" OBSESSION" tend to turn me off. Sorry, but it lumps it in with the "justyouwaituntil2012" brigade in my view.

Also, I've looked at the available models from the BritIce project,and it seems to my untrained eye that only in their "extreme" example http://www.ies.aber.ac.uk/en/fileshare/files/5492/3+-+E109b2bc.wmv does the MODELLING meet with Brian's supposition; and I'd have to say that the potential variance between their "potential minimum and maximum behaviour" scenarios is geographically quite large! I don't think any academic would use a single outlier from any large dataset (in this case 350) as being representative of the general findings of the dataset.

Peace
