Hello Jo-Anne,

Unfortunately, at TMA recently we seem to be inundated with people presenting personal idea/concept/theory as 'fact'. Your posts, no matter how much you believe in what you're saying, are conjectural but are not presented as such. We don't wish to be completely intolerant of new theories and ideas, but we have to be careful as to how we let them come over.

So, 2 things:

1. The pictures of your found stones, that you believe share some characteristics with the stones at Stanton Drew, can not be posted under the Stanton Drew site. In fact, they can't be posted anywhere on TMA. If you could find independent hosting, in some free space somewhere, you could host them there and present them as part of a ...

2. weblog entry, detailing your theories and ideas in as much detail as you can muster up, best approached from the angle that most people are going to read your article and go 'what the...?'. With this in mind, be as thorough as you can, provide as much evidence for your ideas as possible and your weblog entry may be accepted into the fabric of TMA without too much consternation. Better still, it may provoke much lively debate without undermining all parties.

Best,
TMA Ed.

"can not be posted under the Stanton Drew site. In fact, they can't be posted anywhere on TMA.

It's ok, TMA doesn't have a research space, and I like to keep things together in general. I just put it up as a comparison to set rules.
On a weblog it needs images to accompany, that and that it's rather too ellaborate, with microscope/modification, geometrics, research into writing and reasoning etc, timeline, history of area, it's a provable and accepted research, not so much a presentation.

"Better still, it may provoke much lively debate without undermining all parties."

Sorry, Hi Eds :-)
Thanks,
the measurements to the stones small or large is a simple logic, it doesn't/shouldn't undermine any parties in the least.

The UK has 'interesting' microliths and motives, and as far as I can see we all have still alot to learn from this period. I hope to contribute.
