The Storegga Slide and its Impact on NE SCOTLAND and BOXGROVE!

My visits to The Moss of Cruden and BOXGROVE
 allowed me to notice great piles of flint nodules having  been dumped not far from each of those excavated sites.

It is interesting to note that the mounds which I observed at BOXGROVE were exactly the same as those which I observed on the Moss of Cruden!

These "Dumps" were each about the same distance from their respective "excavated " tool areas!

Has anyone out there associated this Geomphorogical and Archaeological  coincidence between the "Moss of  Cruden" ,"BOXGROVE" and no doubt other, now coastal; regions of our Islands.?

If you have please let me know what conclusions you have come to!

PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND and GOBEKLI TEPI Synergies!

The synergy between PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND and GOBEKLI TEPI findings is the fact that they are both of them unexpected finds!

Although Palaeolithic Scotland might be classed being is a tad older than GOBEKLI TEPI there is no doubt over the significance of the Turkish findings!

If Archaeological and Geomphorogical "Hierarchies?" Could possibly find the time to get a collective act together then we might take a small step forward for mankind here on planet earth.

More information is being garnered from the Moss of Cruden findings but  the phenomenal importance of The RHYNIE CHERT, (please ref Palaeolithic SCOTLAND and elsewhere); is the "Jewel in the crown" and indeed a stepping stone in the gap between important Archaeological and  Geomphorogical "State of their Arts"!

Current Archaeological findings on the Moss of  Cruden had their GEOMORPHOLOGY in place a little,but not much later than the RHYNIE CHERT, as far as cosmological time is concerned.
