No, we never checked their results, and simply accepted them because of the Spartan methodology. But we wouldn't be watching out for lunar phenomena at Callanish without them. I've had good results relating Boltonian 'rock art' to the Megalithic Inch. And it can't be said to be an invention as it's still used, in rural China as the C'un, and in the Bay Area as the Acupuncture Inch (aka the A.U.M.). The notable thing about the AUM is that it varies from person to person - it's not impossible that the Megalithic Yard - which corresponds with my relaxed pace length - did too.


Despite it all i have a lot of time for Thom ,he did do some great work ,no doubt about that . There was always Lockyer and Boyd Somerville ,earlier archaeoastronomers ,althought the term was in use then . Hector Boece a 15 th C Scots historian remarked on the possible astronomical associations of recumbent stone circles , quite an early one that .
