Eureka!

 Sounds of  silence!

I have not received any contradictory response to my conclusions regarding our findings On the the moss of Cruden.

I must therefore assume that past "Saville" conclusions might be worthy of investigation!

Check them out!

If you can find them!

More to follow!

"email" to variously respected Archaeologists.

 Dear All,

Please advise "by return",if any government, privately  funded,or other; excavations have been executed on or near the sites identified by Dr. EA Fitzpatrick and subsequently excavated by Dr. Fitzpatrick, Myself and others on the Moss of Cruden!

Reference to Palaeolithic Scotland on line will provide you with a basis for you to establish this.   

The more I research into some past senior professional opinions the more I find them wanting!

However as an amateur, I am but a small voice!

Nonetheless, the carefull arrangement of of all of our findings from Moss of Cruden, Ellon and elsewhere in the NE of Scotland are providing evidence of anomalies in past professional opinions.

If you can, please make me aware of why the, most reverently placed neolithic clusters such as were found in carefully and reverently prepared alcoves on the Den of Bodam please do so; as when I asked Dr. Saville when I met him next, he was non commital!

Has anyone out there bottomed this quandary out?

I think not!

In my sojourns through the, published; findings of some of those professionals who appear to dominate the archaeological and geomphorogical landscapes of what is known as "The Uk"; I can find no irrefutable link between their respective and integrated terms of reference, if they have any!

I have had the privilege to work with an esteemed Soil Scientist in the, exposure, of the evidence of a neglected part of our world heritage.

This neglected part of our world is on the moss of Cruden.

Dr. E A Fitzpatrick

Prior to my meeting at Hatton it is important that those who wish to attend be aware of Dr E A. Fitzpatrick's  contribution to Nature regarding the geomorphology of the  N E   of Scotland!

Sandstone implement!

  Bingo! (Perhaps)

More information to follow.

The Sandstone finding is unique to NE Scotland!

This does  not mean that such artefacts  might not  be found elsewhere on or island!

WELL I NEVER!

Just come across published information of Palaeolithic sandstone findings being exposed in Norfolk a number of years ago!

At one time there was a land plane which joined Norfolk to Moss of Cruden.

Please check it out!

As I am led to believe the only Sandstone implements found in the UK are to be found at Norfolk and Moss of Cruden.

New Archaeological Horizons are now perhaps  being unfolded to the public, albeit from an amateur Archaeologist.

 Further information!

It is Important that I emphasise that the enigmatic sandstone implement was carefully removed from gleys which contained clearly identifiable flint tools and other flint detritus!

I have spent a few evenings researching  the  properties of red Sand stone tool cultures and find that The Rock of Gibraltar excavations are the nearest predominance of this technology which I can find.

Most interesting and will be followed up!
