Not sure why this is still blurry, tried to upload twice. The original is sharp though!	Posted by CianMcLiam 23rd August 2016ce


The domus de janas in Sardinia have some very impressive paintings . e.g. http://www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/tomba-vergogna/	Posted by tiompan 23rd August 2016ce


Yes, they certainly do! I guess I should say mainland Europe or I'd have to include Hal Salfieni in Malta too ;) I think Guillaume Robin is finished working on the Sardinian paintings, hopefully it will be published somewhere.	Posted by CianMcLiam 24th August 2016ce


I'd still think I'd give it to Antelas though, and maybe third prize for the hunting scene in Juncais.	Posted by CianMcLiam 24th August 2016ce


Yep , Guillaume has had the paper published this month in CAJ .	Posted by tiompan 24th August 2016ce
