This evening I got around to unpacking the rest of my Palaeolithic, Mesolthic and Neolithic findings from the moss of cruden and Ellon.
I took time to look at the sculpted wheel on a piece of 9" x 6" x 3" grey granite retrieved from my areas of excavation.
It did not take me long to identify it as the "Wheel of Taranus"!
This gem was found in layers above our flint cache!
I will forward photographs of this finding in my next blog after I get it photographed professionally
I am in the process of composing a letter to various parties which will be delivered by email to them and such email will be published on Online Archaeology under Palaeolithic Scotland notifications.
Watch this space!
Apologies!
Big typo error just noticed!
Vis:- "Such email will be published online" at Palaeolithic Scotland and not on "Online Archaeology"!!!
Sorry, the best is yet to be published!!
Been going through all of my Palaeolithic Scotland blogs and find that they contradict some past archaeological hypotheses and their drawn conclusions!
As an amateur I do not have a problem with this as some past archaeologists ignored specific soil science evidence which conflicted with their poppycock theories!
More to follow soon!

Before I wrote this particular part of my article I spent many hours comparing our Moss of cruden findings with those which I observed at Boxgrove.
They are, at least; chronologically related to those revealed at Boxgrove.
However as the Boxgrove trove is in close proximity and slightly above a marshland and our Palaeolithic findings from the moss of Cruden are well above current sea level I feel that there exists a schism between current Geomorphological evidence and out of date Archaeological theories which must be overcome in the interest of of us eventually finding our roots!
Watch this space.
This evening as I was arranging all of our Palaeolithic, Mesolthic and Neolithic artefacts from the moss of Cruden I suddenly realised, that when I visited Boxgrove the only artefacts unearthed were from a beach !
There were no later evidence from the cliff's strata's above the beach for human habitation other than a medieval village atop the cliffs!
Tonight as I look down on my treasured collection I find Palaeolithic, Mesolthic, Neolithic and Iron age artefacts gathered from The moss of Cruden!!!
This will influence the nature of my eventual letter to our First minister and others!
Subject of previous communication has mysteriously disappeared?
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Dear all,
I have just opened up my post about an hour or so ago to find a post which was not instigated by myself!
it concerns a young person who is ill!
if you can help the young chap and his family please do so.
Furthermore, I herewith request that all future suchlike communications be addressed to Jill Cook or Mark Roberts who should be able to help you Should have contacted them personally but they seem to have dropped off of my radar!
