Megalithic Art
Mar 29, 2003, 20:17
Being involved in the intense megalithic imagery of Iberian sites at the moment, and I'm briefly pondering backwards over the sites in the UK. I've realised I've never actually delved too deep into its geographic distribution there. How widespread is it? Is it found anywhere under the Pennines? And I don't mean just cupmarks, the occasional Stonehenge marks or Pictish symbolism, you know; I am looking for solar, human and figurative art on monuments or menhirs like the famous stuff in Brittany, Malta or Eire. Knowing of no proper Paleolithic cave art in Britain, I am trying to establish a continuum of tradition in art in the Mesolithic cultures of Europe, as the Channel was created around that time, severing the Isles from the Continent.
