Does anybody have any information, titbits, personal ideas or directions to relevant websites to help me on my quest. I am certainly no zoologist or botanist, Archeo or otherwise but would like to know about anything from degrees of forestation to geographical locations of bears to dragonfly populations and all that's in between.

Thankyou kindly

Hi jonny pocket,

It's a fscinating field that - in my experience - seems to be mostly locked up in academic papers. I did score a copy of Colin Burgess' "The Age of Stonehenge"the other day, but that mostly deals with anthropogenic archaeology. You might try Oxbow Books:

They have this which looks interesting:

Animals in the Neolithic of Britain and Europe.

I keep meaning to buy a copy of "Fairweather Eden"by Mike Pitts, but it always slips my mind....

Peace

Pilgrim

Yeah, I know what you mean about the impenetrable academic aspect. Thanks for the suggestions. Will look into.

Much appreciated
