King Arthur's Hall (Stone Circle) |
King Arthur’s Hall: A new discovery?Roy Goutte writes - "On the 16th April I joined a working party from TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) of Cornwall to clear some of the gorse off the banked enclosure known as King Arthur’s Hall on King Arthur’s Down, a part of Bodmin Moor. Always a fascinating place to visit, the day turned out to be far more exciting than I ever imagined!"

Archaeology: A Secret HistoryArchaeology: A Secret History. Episode one: In the Beginning. Reviewing in the 27 April-3 May edition of The Radio Times, Gill Crawford writes - “Archaeology isn’t a new, rigidly scientific discipline. According to Dr Richard Miles (presenter of 2010’s Ancient Worlds), the first person to set out to dig up the past was the Emperor Constantine’s aged mother Helena, who searched the Near East in the early fourth century for physical evidence of the life and death of Christ. “Richard Miles charts the history of archaeological breakthroughs in a mission to understand the ancient past. In the first programme [the first of three], he explores how the profession began by trying to prove a biblical truth.” The series begins Tuesday, 30 April from 9:00-10pm on BBC4 television.

Firth settlement compared to Ness of BrodgarA geophysics image produced for an investigation at Redland in the parish of Firth of a site occupied ~3300-2000BCE clearly shows a boundary around round houses, and this wall/ditch has been compared by those concerned with the Great Wall at the Ness of Brodgar in the parish of Stenness. http://orkneyarchaeologysociety.org.uk/index.php/features/redlands-investigtion |

Burrough Hill (Hillfort) |
Burrough Hill dig reveals 'sizeable' hoard of Iron Age metal"A hoard of Iron Age metal found at a Leicestershire site could go on permanent display, archaeologists say. The dig at Burrough Hill, near Melton Mowbray, has uncovered one of the biggest collections of Iron Age metalwork found in the East Midlands. The finds include spears, knives, iron brooches, reaping hooks and the decorative bronze trim from a shield. Burrough Hill is the site of an Iron Age fort but no major excavation had taken place there since the 1970s." More on the BBC here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-22163174 |

Robert Schoch Ph.D speaking in Glastonbury in MayDr. Schoch will be delivering two lectures at Megalithomania in May. At the Megalithomania conference on 18th May and on Monday 20th May at The Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury. http://www.megalithomania.co.uk Robert M. Schoch earned his Ph.D. (1983) in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University. In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind’s history is greater and older than previously believed. Dr. Schoch’s latest research, put forth in his newest book, "Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future", points to the astronomical cause of the demise of antediluvian civilizations, as well as the scientific and archaeological evidence that supports his conclusions. Robert joined Megalithomania on the Peru and Easter Island expedition in November 2013. As well as presenting twice at Megalithomania 2013 - on Saturday evening and Monday evening, he will be a special guest on all of the scheduled tours and the speakers forum on Sunday. http://www.robertschoch.com |
