The cremation dates are "tantalisingly” close to the date when the bluestones were brought into the earlier ditch and bank monument to form the first stone circle.

Is this the end of the glaciation theory?
Discuss.


A well written piece from the Guardian - which seems to say yes, the end of the glaciation theory. Last night I tried to follow a FB discussion on the Prehistoric Society page but difficult to pull together all the comments when Wales as a separate country didn't exist 5000 years ago (someone helpfully posted a Roman map of Wales).

The article gives a nice little tribute to Geoffrey Wainwright (and Timothy Darvill). I well remember their healing stones theory.
