Re: The bluestone debate

You know you're going mad when you start dreaming about stones...

Isn't it also possible (and apologies if this has been said before) that the bluestones are actually 'imprisoned' within the sarsen circle? That Stonehenge was neither made by people from Wales bringing their bluestones to Salisbury Plain, nor by a breakaway faction from Avebury, but by the strong and long-established culture already centred in and around Avebury? An Avebury-based culture that felt the time had come to build something a bit more fancy, knew of a famous bluestone circle in Wales, and went and nicked it in an act of supremacy (nicking the Stone of Scone springs to mind as a similar act of supremacy).

Right, got that off me chest - back to bed :-)
