Watch this Space!

 Am preparing a colage of selection from over 100 sample of tools cores and flakes excavated at wee windae one and two.

Will publish photographs, on a weekly basis, of best cores, flakes and tools

Attention

 Let it now be known  that any governmental or other financed investigation into Palaeolithic Scotland subject material should  be made known and to John L Sneddon CEng  MIET. 

Prior to any such application!

On interpretation of some Professional Archaeological Conclusions anent Buchans Contribution to the real story!

 "What a Tangled web we weave" etc.

Have gone over many archaeological published papers and found that they skirt around a particular area of NE Scotland, namely; The Moss of Cruden!

Oh! The artefacts found by Saville and others carefully, and most;reverently arranged in  the Den of Bodam alcoves are, in some opinions; at most, late mesolithic and edging into early Neolithic workmanship!

Our findings from the moss of Cruden are perhaps thousands of years older!

Oh! Bye the Way

 The book is titled:-

"The Book of Buchan" 

The author is Tocher!







The Book of Buchan!

 Tonight I have been going through and analysing all of my conclusions regarding the Paleolithic  habitation of  not only Scotland but NE Scotland in particular!

I revisited information from a book which was given to me on loan  from an internationally respected Soil Scientist.

The book is by Godsman and is bang on!

Particularly his Section 1 Chapter one!

Read it if you will.

Important news!

 I have spent some past evenings over the past few months organising my important Palaeolithic findings into pretty well identifiable groups!

The small implements (they are definitely not cores!)  come from an identifiable plateau on the mains of Waterton.

All, individually;fit into a three dimensional 1" cube  but are too small and intentionally modified to be passed as Palaeolithic!

These artefacts may eventually be classified as Mesolthic but it should be well noted that they were found in a trench in the fields of the mains of Waterton and not from.the sand dunes above! As we're the Palaeolithic items!

I am now arranging all of my artefacts into their specific genre for professional photography intended for publication.

Watch this space.

Here we go!

To all followers!

 Since I have received no contrary evidence from you to my previous Blog I am pleased to note that it has been viewed by all and well received by your good selves!

Much more positive info to follow!

This will be in the format of photographs of  all of my many Palaeolithic, Mesolthic and Neolithic findings from various stratigraphicalogicaly and geomorpohologicaly important areas of Buchan

All can be identified from their precise area of discovery , which I kept specific note of!

Happy Days!

Countdown!

 Over the past few years I have exposed Neolithic, Mesolithic and Palaeolithic artefacts from the NE of Scotland.

However! The only proven Palaeolithic artefacts; that I have, come from the Sands and plateaus of the moss of  cruden area!

I have gone through all of my publications and  find that I have represented this pictorialy in my very first publication!

I should respectfully advise that any followers revisit the pictorial evidence and respond to me asap if they cannot  see them on my blog.

Happy Days!

Quest!

 I have been searching for any published information on  what I will call  the identification of "The Den of Bodam" alcoves. 

There are none to my knowledge!

Contradictions welcomed!

Clarification:-

Existence of Neolithic mining in the area is well known!

Raison d'etre  for the alcoves has never been,publicly; bottomed out!

Even the late Dr. Saville could not provide me with an explanation when I met him on the way up on my second visit as he was coming down from one of his.

To be continued!

Meeting on "The Den of Bodam"!

 Big question!

At our meeting on the Den of Bodam I asked the late Dr Saville a question! 

 "What are these Lithics  doing up here in those alcoves"

"No answer" was the loud reply!

It is definitely coming together!

This evening I compared past papers published by some past and some; currently existing, Archaeologists.

As far as Palaeolithic Scotland is concerned they seem to have  followed a path set out before them by someone else who is no longer with us but with whom I had the pleasure of having a good and honest conversation with on the trail up to and down from the Den of Bodam!

To be continued!

It's Coming together!

Over the past few years I have  been investigating past Saville papers and found them seriously wanting as regard to his interpretation and ultimate disregard to the possibility of there  ever being a Palaeolithic evidence of human habitation in NE of  Scotland!

I only wish that I had been able to tell him that "Face to Face"!

Out of the Sands of time!

 Nailed it!

why  were there  never any official archaeological excavations carried out on the Moss of Cruden!!

Why not?

Dr. Saville, etal; expose's of Neolithic artefacts in carefully arranged alcoves on the Den of  Bodam were known to the population of the North East of Scotland hundreds of years before he was ever thought of!

What I am interested in is what came before and might have been missed by Saville!

Watch this Space!

He missed a lot!

Boxgrove?/Mains of Waterton?

 What came first?

Our Mains of Waterton findings easily equate to or predate  or coexist with Boxgrove exposures!

I have visited both sites and exposed a, possible; Archaeological embarrassment!

It concerns certain Saville publications which  I will be investigating for clarification!

Sad News

 Tonight I was in the process of composing a letter to Caroline Wickam Jones.

When I tried to find her current address I was saddened to find out that she was  no longer with us.

Caroline was one of the first archaeologists to agree that our findings from the moss of Cruden were indeed PALAEOLITHIC but that I had to get the Geomorphology sorted out!

This was done!

I only wish that I could have been able to tell her that, face to face!

RIP.

The Sparker!!

 Been going through all of my findings from the moss of cruden tonight and spent a while studying what I thought was just a beautiful representation of what our ancestors could manufacture.

It was so obviously created for a specific purpose; with its ease of handling and use;and that dead straight groove ploughing its way across its c.3"face; of the half heart shaped implement.

This is the perhaps the most important Palaeolithic finding found on the British Isles and may be on our planet!

Unless of course other such devices have been found and not recorded!

Three Edens of Mainland Britain

                                         

                                    THE THREE EDENS of  MAINLAND BRITAIN        


                                                       
Geomorphologically mainland Britain can now be identified as being an amalgam of three, maybe four; distinct surface areas of our planet which collided in their different ways and at differing times.

The above soils identification (courtesy of www.snh.gov.uk/docs/A337648.pdf) seems to show this.

Given the "Elgin findings" of Geologist Anna Grayson back in 1997 and our findings from the moss of Cruden around the same time, it seems like "Middle Scotland"
