I find the arguments put forward by Olwen Williams-Thorpe and her late husband in their seminal paper rather convincing, and I find the Boles Barrow bluestone evidence rather convincing, and Chris Green's pebble analyses not convincing at all. So there we are then. Much work still to be done on the deposits of clay-with-flints and other apparent glacially derived deposits to the west and north.<br /><br />Now a direct question to you. Do you agree with the point I am making in this post?<br /><br />What's all this about selling books and making money? Sordid business.

He was directly asked recently and replied 'it is a quarry'<br /><br />Since direct question are the way forward.<br /><br />Do you believe the SH orthostats and their associated debitage really are the only erratic materials ever to have been found on Salisbury Plain, on the surface or within the river sediments? <br /><br />This has not been an effective marketing ploy for selling your book? NEEDS a rewrite, after all there is not a single slight against MPP is the current edition.<br /><br />I think that the electric version of my atlas (with Dr Paul Duller)has sold one CD-ROM for every 10/20 million hits (it might well be worse than that)! So had I been wanting to make money I would have been disappointed. <br />MMoAnoreply@blogger.com
