There is an important article, "Rock Art, digging up a mystery", British Archaeology, September - October 2012, pp 14 - 21. Talks about discoveries through excavations at the famous Kilmartin, Argyllshire, landscape, with its prolific extent of cupmarkes and carved rocks.<br /><br />The article, by Andrew Jones of Southampton University and others, talks about them looking at 2 roches moutonnes, glacier smoothed, in a "wrong" lowland setting, and the rocks were unscheduled ancient monuments.. A Swedish archaeologist from Gothenburg initially helped Jones because of his own expertise in Sweden.. The final result has been that quartz, flint and pitchstone has been found between the 2 rocks. Quartz pebbles were also demonstrated to be efficient tools for carving the rock art.TonyHnoreply@blogger.com
