Just to add to this side of the remark (and add comment on the border-bound issue of archeao-attitudes) I'll add these links to this thread too.

The current trend does seem to be to expand horizons and it's about time! Sites like these are now, through the wonder of the internet, becoming better known beyond their locality. I recently saw some Romanian dolmens somewhere, so there does seem to be a continuity of megalithic structures from the Caucas Mountains to NW Ireland! Many areas inbetween will be devoid of sites, but this should not be taken to be evidence of these areas never having had any. Farming and Xtianity have been responsible for removing so many. In some areas of extreme zealousity (new word!) a total eradication of pagan monuments is both possible and probable.
