We all seek the truth but sadly in the Neolithic there will always be something missing. Things take forever to change in our understanding of sites and their meanings but one shouldn't crow too loud before it is all proven. Again, I don't mean that to sound disrespectful but you are making it sound like others know nothing or have never been there or considered it before.[/quote]


'Always' be something missing?... or perhaps just 'often'?
'Forever' to change our understanding?... or perhaps just a little time?

Please forgive the 'crowing' but a new day is dawning and we've had quite a few 'Eureka moments' we'd like to share. Of course they have yet to be proven, but we're actually trying quite hard to disprove our own theories and ideas, so we'd like your help in that - preferably by way of evidence to the contrary, not just reassertion of old assumptions.

People have long been (initially) disparaging about those who bring new ideas and new discoveries, but we have no neolithic axe to grind, just different ways of looking at old things in a new light. I'm sorry if that causes a little discomfort, but please don't take it personally. I certainly didn't mean to "make it to sound like others know nothing", so perhaps there's some emotional colouring going on, as frequently happens when one is passionate about a subject and one's assumptions are challenged.
