Hind , University of Sheffield INTRODUCTION This paper is written in the light of ongoing doctoral research into the Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods of the Peak District, North Derbyshire. The main tenet of the thesis is that, whilst the transition between these two periods sees considerable change in traditions of making and using stone tools, there are also continuities. One way in which I have approached this idea is through the study of prehistoric exploitation of raw material. This requires a perspective beyond the regional horizon. Flint came into the area, and chert went out. How did this happen and what did it mean? As a consequence of this work I have had to look again at some colle Read More Go to Site Maldon Archaeology, Maldon, Essex, England, UK Votes:0 Maldon Archaeology - Books & Reports Maldon, Essex, England This site is primarily a home for MAHG Maldon archaeology books and reports which are no longer in print.

It could have been a temple, an astronomical calendar, or guide to the heavens. Despite the fact that we don't know its purpose for certain, Stonehenge acts as a prehistoric timepiece, allowing us to theorize what it would have been like during the Neolithic Period, and who could have built this megalithic wonder. Construction took place in three phases, over 25 generations. Most of it was the result of human muscle and a system of ropes and wooden levers used to transport the massive stones.

Background The pre-eminence of Cornwall (and Devon) in the production of tin is well documented ( Lewis 1965 , Penhallurick 1986 ). However knowledge of the methods and technology of tin production prior to the 16th century is lacking. Despite some documentary evidence for the process, e.g. De Wrotham's letter ( Lewis 1965 , 233) there is little other evidence. There is a notable lack of archaeological evidence, although there are a number of sites on which small quantities of tin slag have been recovered Read More Go to Site Anglo-Saxon and Viking Yorkshire Votes:0 Anglo-Saxon and Viking Yorkshire Anglo-Saxon and Viking Yorkshire The Anglo-Saxon and Viking Yorkshire Project is a successor to the York Environs Project hosted within the Archaeology Department at York University.

The quarry lies within the Watermead Country Park, an area of open parkland and nature reserves either side of the River Soar. The site first came to light when wardens from the park found two human skulls in spoil from the quarrying. Leicestershire Museum Services were informed and they duly contacted ULAS. A delegation then visited the site and from conversations with the machine operator on site it was established that the spoil containing the skulls came from a peat deposit some 2m below ground surface.

Also, some of them have actually been lifted by train while being reset not that long ago, which is also a good guide. Question: It's one thing to drag a ten ton stone over three step middle planks.

An ancient megalith, or stone monument, Stonehenge has fascinated scientists and lay persons for over eight hundred years. People created and perpetuated many myths and fables through the ages about this enigmatic structure. From hundreds of years of theories and research, scientists believe they have finally discovered the answers to many of Stonehenge's mysteries, such as how, why, and by whom it was built. Three separate cultures, the Windmill Hill, Beaker and Wessex peoples, are believed to have built Stonehenge for both astrological and ceremonial purposes over a period of more than five hundred years.

There are in fact two castles here. The present castle replaced an earlier one, dating from the 13th century, which lies around 200 metres to its south-east, in an area of wooded marshland. In 1998, a team of archaeologists from SUAT carried out an excavation of the old castle site, on behalf of Historic Scotland , and they have returned this summer to continue their investigation. The purpose of the dig is to provide information about the `old' castle and a possible harbour to its south-west, so that the site can be set out and interpreted for visitors.
