The Ms. Wickham -Jones blog is great but the one thing that the "north " could argue for convincingly ,Grooved Ware doesn't seem to get mentioned , and all the other earlier monumnet dates from the south and west e.g. Causwayed enclosures and Long Barrows conveniently get ignored.

Surprised to see no mention of the interpersonal violence evidence from prog two , too .

What I hope exists already - it's been something that occured to me recently but I've yet to check - is an frequently updateable online parallel timeline of carbon and example dated discoveries in the UK and Ireland...a means of stepping back and comparing in order to get the bigger picture...a holistic approach, for want of a better phrase. We may possibly understand our forebears better as a result. If such a timeline does not exist then my personal opinion is that it should.
