THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAY for 2 MY?

             

        This selection of photographs is taken from my www. palaeolithic Scotland material as published

        by Online Archaeology.

4 DISTINCT HIDDEN SOIL HORIZONS

                   The bottom horizon, which is of unknown depth; when first exposed to daylight was 

                   of a much more vibrant reddish brown colour. This vibrancy faded the longer the soil

                   was exposed!

Den of Bodam/ Moss of Cruden Enigma

Having visited Neolithic sites exposed by others on the precipitous peninsula of the Den of Bodam and, having excavated,from soils within a couple of miles of this to the West on The moss of Cruden which exposed early PALAEOLITHIC implements provides for me an enigma.

Is there anyone out there who can explain this apparent Geomorphological/ Archaeological phenomenon?

I had the privilege to discuss the apparent discontinuities between findings on both sites with one who had excavated on The den of bodam.

We agreed to respect one another's opinions, but now the worm appears to be turning in favour of Geomorphological evidence as to where our species desired to reside rather than where they aught to have resided anent pure archaeological findings.

ENIGMA!

Tonight I have come across a paper which states that Buchan was overwhelmed by glaciers in the last ice age.

What we discovered on the moss of Cruden most certainly contradicts this!.

MORRAINLESS BUCHAN!

This evening I have completed a thorough review of my posts, and; theoretical conclusions drawn by others.

Nowhere, in the theoretical conclusions drawn by others;has any explanation or consideration been given to 1963 publication  by BRITISH ASSOCIATION (Aberdeen).ie MORAINLESS BUCHAN.

MORAINLESS BUCHAN is about to  enter "Stage Right ,running"

The Missing Link!

Tonight I have reviewed all of my previous posts.y et again

I find that there is a schism existing between Geomphorogical Publications and analyses of Archaeological findings regarding how they might complement one another in time!

This, I feel; has become most noticeable with the advent of the study of Soil Science.

Perhaps overdue concern has been given, in the past; to archaeological hypothesese and their conclusions without due consideration being given to the Geomphorogical status of their surroundings and, most important of all; the analysis of the soils from which they were exhumed!

This evening I have reviewed all of my posts regarding PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND!!

I have analysed them from Archaeological, Geomphorogical and other points of view!

My analysis shows a great schism existing between past Archaeological and Geomphorogical findings and their specific conclusions.

ie. they do not tie up with one another on time!

Check it out!!

Perhaps the Archaeological fraternities might work closer with Soil Science technologies in the future!

To be continued!

THE BIG PICTURE!

Hi,

This evening I pulled together all of our, professional and amateur; findings from the moss of Cruden.

I also reviewed past opinions on the viability for Scotland not having had an early Palaeolithic habitation and the Geomorphological, evidence suggesting that there is no reason to suggest why she should not have!

My reviews of a number of Publications from the Archaeological and Geomphorogical fraternities of my country suggest that there might be some sort of schism occurring in their, what I had hoped would be a united quest to pull their not insignificant resources together to form a unified approach as to how we,the human race both populated and then colonised our planet!

Alas, this appears not to be the case,at the moment!

How ever , I shall continue to try and fit the pieces of this particular Archaeological / Geomphorogical jigsaw together and perhaps help provide an image of the big picture!
