"My boy Kieron (12) has found perfect finger knives, arrow heads, scrapers and loads of broken hand axes."
Tut! Typical that. I've never found a bleedin' thing, a few suspect flints, but that's about it.
Mind You, according to British Archaeology I'm unfortunate enough to live in the Midlands....

"Large-scale excavations on the line of a new motorway in the West Midlands have produced that extremely rare finding in British archaeology - swathes of landscape with few signs of occupation before recent times."

Bah!, I'll have to move to Orkney. Apparently they trip over the Prehistory there.

LOL! Orkney is much like Dartmoor.
Everywhere you look theres more archaeology.
I spent 10 years on Dartmoor and only scratched the surface.
It's interesting that you can dig so deep in the Midlands and not find archaeology.
I hope this doesn't give credence to the theory that neolithic man was psychic enough to know that one day Birmingham would be built there!
As a matter of interest where are your nearest sites? (N,E,S & W?)
