I wanted to ask him about stuff like the avenues at Avebury, which came later than the circle, iirc, well after 2400bc. And the barrows that surround Avebury, what does that indicate in those terms? The RSCs are another example where there seems to be a blending of ideas rather than some kind of 'take over'. I was thinking of damage to stones at Stonehenge , Mount Pleasant , Le Petit Chasseur ,Sion etc . Not familiar with that. What happened at Mount Pleasant? There was a setting of a sarsen cove , no sarsens were discovered only the sockets and 300 pounds of smashed up sarsen deposits accompanied with charcoal , both had been subject to intense heat , plus another smaller amount found around the monument .Grooved Ware and the presence of timber circle was discovered , but also a later beaker burial . Interesting. Were they coming down from Scotland? Some of the earliest beaker burials and the first area they go out of use. To answer my bit about Avebury above, that could possibly mean some of those barrows dotted around were much later? Possibly meaning no beaker influence at all before 2300/2200, when the communal stuff came to a close. Do you have any dates for earliest beaker use (in any context) for wessex? I think there were burials (underneath avenue stones rings a bell) but not barrows for the earliest perhaps? Thinking out loud.. Sorry missed the Avebury avenue /barrows . Yep later than henge and same time as the earliest Beaker burials (2500 BC ) , RSC 'S (approx 2500 BC )and Silbury (2400bc ) .
