Did someone say at some point that there were 2,000 houses at Durrington - blimey!

I thought it was 1000 , but regardless it's still -blimey . Did I hear right about the the view that the Heel stone would have been a focal point in the Mesolithic ? Copper axes also suggested ? I thought flint would have been superior . The M. P-P / Ramilsonina idea is getting very tiresome .

An interesting theory came up that the Heel Stone and the Station Stones (being the only ones not shaped) were erected near to where they were found and not transported any great distance.
The discovery of a piece of chalk at Durrington which, speculation has it, shows signs of working with bronze, would put back the usage of this metal by a considerable time.
A good and not dumbed-down programme.
