"Hunt on for Scotland's 'missing' 100,000 years of history"

A number of years ago an archaeological correspondent of a, then and still; well respected national newspaper wrote concerning the above.

That correspondent and others I hope by now have read issues raised by this blog and  presented under my name on Online Archaeology.

Scotland has more than a missing 100,000 years of history!. Its probably missing nearer a 400 to 500 years absence of serious archaeological research!

I respectfully request that, should the correspondent's editor receive copy of this publication then they might  ask their correspondent to recant.

Soils of England and Wales

Over the past few years, since our findings on the Moss of Cruden; I have been researching for a document relating to "Soils of the British Islands".

There is, to my knowledge; no such detailed document in the public domain.

I have found reputable information in "Soils of Scotland", as recently published and in "Soils of England and Wales" by C.P Burnham c.1980.

Alas there is nothing of any importance to tie both of these papers together as regards the ancient colonisation of our  islands by our human ancestors. I feel that this is quite sad.

There were I feel, in the earliest of days; distinct and fundamental evolutionary processes taking place upon the soils of Scotland and upon the soils of England and Wales before they collided (in a tectonic sense)with one another.

We will not be the nation  we could be, I refer to the nation as that for which I can cast my vote in a general election; unless what we have found on the moss of cruden is shouted out through that nation.

Unique Evidence from Amphibian Fossils Excavated Near Elgin

The Two Shores Of An Eden by Jack Sneddon To the south of the Highland boundary fault there is another fault line called the Southern Upland fault which probably indicates the later collision between what is now known as Scotland and England. Within the area denoted by the black circle there is contained a Within the Northern sector of the circle lie the sites where the first marine life crawled out of the sea to breath air! In the centre of the circle lies the site of our Early Palaeolithic finds! Within the southern sector of the circle lies "The Rhynie Chert"! All these facts bring pressure to bear on previously / currently accepted myths suggesting that NE Scotland is barren of any evidence of early Palaeolithic habitation associated with human cultures. I am not going to waste any more time trying to convince the now apparently entrenched Archaeological press and aficionados.

TWO SHORES OF EDEN

TWO SHORES OF EDEN

                                                      THE TWO SHORES OF AN EDEN?

Below I have taken the opportunity to delineate what I have called "The two shores of an Eden" superimposed on the excellent "Soils of Scotland"map as published in www.snh.gov.uk/docs/A337648.pdf (Please note that my delineation marks are only intended to show roughly the body of Scotland which lies between the Great Glen (red line) and Highland boundary (black line) and the soils which they contain.

To the south of the Highland boundary fault there is another fault line called the Southern Upland fault which probably indicates the later collision between what is now known as Scotland and England.

Within the black circle on the Soils Map there is contained an area of varying soil antiquities
- Within the Northern sector of the circle lie the sites where the first marine life crawled out of the sea to breath air! around where Elgin exists today (See Aberdeen Press and Journal article)
- In the centre of the circle lies the site of our Early Palaeolithic finds!
- Within the southern sector of the circle lies "The Rhynie Chert"! 

All these facts bring pressure to bear on previously / currently accepted myths suggesting that NE Scotland is barren of any evidence of early Palaeolithic habitation associated with human cultures.

Indeed it appears to hold irrefutable evidence of it being a birth place of and cradle for evolution from at least 400,000,000 years as it travelled over the surface of our planet to arrive where it is today. 

The land mass to the south of the southern upland fault has its own story to tell regarding its voyage over the planet's surface as it started out from a very different position.

The above http will direct you to a fundamental, geological; representation of , arguably; the two most important fault lines on our planet as regards a stage in the evolution toward you being you!

vis:- The Great Glen and The Highland Boundary.

In reconsidering  the evidence from Anna Grayson (ref. press publication "Aberdeen Press and Journal" Aug. 12/8/97) there is,to my mind; no doubt that her findings lay down the first clue to where an important part of our sea to land migration took place. Our findings from the Moss of Cruden bear witness to  a lot of evolutionary processes since that time which were probably contained, for a time; between The Great Glen and Highland boundaries.

IS FREE PRESS ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORTING CONTRIBUTING TO A DARK AGE/

To night I have been reviewing the list of free press contacts to whom I have made aware the importance of our findings on the moss of Cruden, These contacts include Archaeological Correspondents/Editors: at The Sunday Herald,
Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Herald, The Times, The Sunday Times, The BBC, The Guardian, the Independent the Press an Journal and a number of other major players charged with the bringing together and distribution of extremely important, real time; archaeological discoveries to the notice of their readers.

All of the informative data regarding our important discoveries on the moss of Cruden, which was communicated to all of above; appears to have fallen on barren editorial ground as regards publication. I find this quite sad.

I have recently revisited our excavations on the "Moss of Cruden" after receiving information that they may be being considered as sites for wind-powered generators,

Well, considering the condition which I found the lines of uprooted roadside trees in; I respectfully suggest that this is not a place for a wind farm, required to supply uninterrupted power into the national grid.

I am unaware if "The Press" are familiar with the recent scientific papers published regarding the geomorphology of Scotland. If they are not then I might be forgiven if believe that their fingers are not on the pulse!

IS THERE A WIND POWERED ELECTRICAL GENERATION THREAT TO PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND SITE?

A couple of months ago I received notification that a Wind Powered Electrical Generation facility was to be considered for construction on or about our excavations on the Moss of Cruden.

This provided me with the "Quandary of quandaries"

What should come first? :-

1. The identification of the area in question being positively identified as the "Real time" location of "Earliest 

     known human habitation of the British Islands by careful and devoted scientific investigation" which   

     resulted from our findings.                                    

                                                                or

2.    The identification of the area in question being positively identified as the "Real time" location of "Earliest 

     known human habitation of the British Islands without careful and devoted scientific investigation" which   

     resulted from our findings.

  

A recent visit to the allegedly proposed site  has shown much arboreal disturbance by major uprooting of trees along the road line. A non technically supported proposition would be that this had been caused by wind and lots of it.

As a Chartered Electrical Engineer I support the garnering and storing of electrical energy from all natural and economical sources however, I also support the fact that this cannot be done to the detriment of us possibly "Finding ourselves".
