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.
