(ARTICLE ON PREHISTORIC SCOTLAND)

"However recent excavations on the Moss of Cruden (c. 1995 to date), where specific areas of the Moss were targeted for excavation based upon state of the art "Soil Science" investigative processes; have revealed 4 hidden soil horizons of excellent preservation where Artefacts showing evidence of human modification were retrieved. The soil horizons are expected to be dated to c. 2M yrs ago!.
It is noted that the only physical evidence of early palaeolithic "Human" presence found on these islands are a leg bone and a couple of teeth from Boxgrove (visited by Jack Sneddon). Boxgrove and The Moss of Cruden were then basking in the idyllic climate of the great interglacial! To presume that there was a Mediterranean climate at Boxgrove and ice sheets on the Moss of Cruden at the same time is a bit far fetched.

If '''they''' were at Boxgrove then '''they'''were on the moss of Cruden at the same time.

Synopsis

Recent excavations at Moss of Cruden, Grampian Region, show that Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks pass beneath the margin of the Tertiary Buchan Ridge Gravels and are intensely weathered. These findings indicate that previous interpretations of these rocks as a glacially-transported erratic mass or masses were incorrect and that they are probably in situ. The rocks include fine-grained, glauconitic quartz-arenites with pollen of Late Hauterivian-early Barremian age. Overlying flint gravels demonstrate the presence of a former Cretaceous chalk cover and helped the preservation of this small outlier.

FIRST LIGHT OF DAY FOR 2MY?

4 Distinct hidden soil horizons exposed together possibly for the first time in 2,000,000  years. 

The bottom horizon is yet of unknown depth and when first exposed was of a more vibrant reddish

brown colour which visibly faded the longer it was exposed to daylight.

LARGE AXE / POUNDING IMPLEMENT BEING REMOVED FROM THE GLEYS

INTERFACE OF THE BOTTOM TWO SOIL HORIZONS

The cast of the recently removed large axe / pounder is easily identifiably at the interface of the two soils

Please note the root casts in the bottom horizon. These roots were carbonised ie they had experienced "Fire"

There was no evidence of any root formations above the bottom horizon. Please draw your own conclusions as we

have drawn ours. (Plesae note a full cache of our photographs reside on  the Online Archaeology site.

Today I received my copy of above document purchased from the British Geological Survey (Natural Environmental Research Council)

If I, as an amateur; am interpreting their respected professional opinions correctly then during the past major glaciations of what is now known as the UK there was an "Ice Free Enclave" in what is now known as Buchan!.

I rest our case.

Watch this space!

GENESIS?

Our findings from the moss of cruden when taken into consideration with their close proximity to and between the "Elgin" fossils and the "Rhynie Chert" begs the question.

"Why have the above associations never ever  been observed and published before now"?

Well they have been published now!
