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...
THE BOOK Some of the ideas discussed in this blog are published in my new book called "The Stonehenge Bluestones" -- available by post and through good bookshops everywhere. Bad bookshops might not have it.... To order, click HERE

Now here's a fine thing........
Have you heard the one about this great gang of archaeologists who turned up at this remote spot in west Wales, did a lot of quarrying, at vast expense, and then proudly announced to the world that they had found a quarry?

"Another fine mess you've got us into", as Laurel & Hardy would have said if they'd have been at the alleged quarry site, assisting the intrepid archaeologists.
Thinking of a fine mess, and who might have been responsible for it, I was sorry to hear that Prof Mike Parker Pearson has been poorly with the coronavirus infection. However, I gather that he is making a good recovery, and of course we wish him well.

Let's hope he recovers soon and that meanwhile he's doing some light reading of your commonsense and lucid book, The Stonehenge Bluestones.
