Stone Circle and Archaeo’ courses – Liverpool Uni Cont. Ed.

Liverpool University’s Continuing Education department’s Autumn course programme contains some items of megalithic interest:

THE GREAT STONE CIRCLES OF THE NORTH WEST (10 Weekly meetings)

“Liverpool is surrounded by ten great stone circles. Every week each circle is considered, their archaeology, geometry, astronomy and folklore. An enjoyable, practical course that places the circles in the context of British prehistory against our modern perception of them.”

PRACTICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION TECHNIQUES (2 meetings, 4 dig days)

“Gain first-hand experience of the process of archaeological excavation on an important medieval and prehistoric site in West Lancashire this October.”

Ron Cowell, the curator of prehistoric archaeology at Liverpool Museum, describes the finds of prehistoric flints and burnt hazelnuts. They’re an unusual discovery because of their lowland location. The site will be buried by a new link road for J6 on the M62 near Huyton. There’ll be a museum display of all the artefacts found.
