More evidence on Stonehenge you may be interested in

Greetings,

Actually I did put a longer article on news about
this....http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/102712/news/stonehenge_and_its_environs.html


but if you read Tiompans comments on the subject, he says 'phooy' to the latest Stonehenge findings, they are way out. Still it is interesting and goes back to those postholes in the carpark as well.....
All I can say cynically is that if you do an archaeological survey anywhere near Stonehenge is that you have to justify it by an exciting headline ....

Thank you, very interesting, I would imagine they are under pressure to satisfy their funding masters, but I'll still stick to the science and the professionals.
Greetings , the phooy comment is science based ,if you want the details do ask , you can then compare the data with what little there has been from the professionals .

They've been toying with this idea that the early monument was built around the Heel Stone for a couple of years, suggesting that it was there from some time after the mesolithic posts. It certainly is an attractive idea as more and more menhirs (e.g.the ones in the Algarve) are giving very ancient dates and as more and more new research outside the UK is revealing equinox/solstice allignments with a low probability of it all being pure coincidence. Hasn't the Heel Stone's pit been dug for organic material (with modern methods, not 100 years ago)?
