It looks as if MPP is doing ann afternoon tour of assorted places with significance. No specific mention of Rhosyfelin, but maybe they will call in there since the 2013 dig will be under way. So another generation of budding and amateur archaeologists will hear the authorised version of events, and will have no contact at all with anything different. In such a fashion is orthodoxy maintained and even spread!BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-62732258188221070102013-04-19T18:11:27.312+01:002013-04-19T18:11:27.312+01:00Brian, your photo of Pentre Ifan cromlech reminds ...Brian, your photo of Pentre Ifan cromlech reminds me that I understand Mike Parker Pearson will be there in September 2013 with a group of keenly interested archaeology fans, showing them round the prehistoric sites of Preseli.

How do we distinguish 'our intentions' for them from 'prehistoric intentions'?<br /><br />This is especially disturbing (and disturbed!) when 'our intentionality' is detached from the real physical conditions prehistoric people faced in their struggle to survive.<br /><br />Oh I forgot! Chris does not think prehistoric people just coming out of the Ice Age were struggling to survive!<br /><br />KostasConstantinos Ragazasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-86356764114813885052013-04-07T12:12:06.614+01:002013-04-07T12:12:06.614+01:00Thanks Chris -- shall have a little read when I ha...Thanks Chris -- shall have a little read when I have finished repairing my chimney!
