How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Hilarious..........
A old friend of mine, Ian Evans, who keeps an eye on such things, has spotted this on Researchgate:
"With 440 new reads, Brian John was the most read author from Durham University last week."
I think that's quite wonderful, given that I left Durham University almost 40 years ago in order to enjoy a quiet life in the country........
PS. When you sign up on Researchgate you have to give your present or past academic affiliation.

I use (read) academia.edu by preference. This gives open access and today, for example, I read an interesting paper by George Nash on the aligned monuments on stumble head. I would venture that he is well worth consulting about where to look in the general area of Brynberian Moor and hopefully the MPP team already did.
I think I tried to join Researchgate by being honest and was rejected. I did not try again because there is something instinctively uninteresting about a club to which only proper academics may belong.
Chris -- we already have George's opinion on Bedd yr Afanc.
I thought anybody could read what's on Researchgate? Maybe they have a different policy regarding uploads of scientific papers? Although I retired many moons ago, there wasn't a problem in signing up. I sent them a huge bundle of old offprints, and they copied and digitised them and put them on the site. I am rather impressed with them.....
I gather Myris sticks his papers onto Academia? No doubt they are good too.
