PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND is ON THE MOVE!

In the run up to my Hatton presentation I have been revisiting all of my publications regarding Palaeolithic Scotland to find one which for some reason was not posted!

I think that it might have something to do with "Online Archaeology" dropping off the Radar for some reason or another!

Vis:-

"I have recently published an article on my " Online Archaeology" website which should be shared by all.

Reference to my early photographs taken from our first excavation (see "Online Archaeology" article) suggests that the undoubted, PALAEOLITHIC; material had been retrieved from a soil horizon which had been in continuous motion for eons and may yet be proven to have been assisted by the movement of the glaciers which moved over them, yet which scraped the rocks of the Den of Bodam!"

Much to do about something!"

Consolidation of PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND Publications

Dear Bloggers,

Something quite important has come up on the radar of my PALAEOLITHIC SCOTLAND (Online Archaeology) and my Blog publications!

Looks like there is a great rift between Geomphorogical and Archaeological findings from the "Moss of Cruden"

I will still try to keep you updated via my blog but it will become more difficult for me to advance this in the future as  I am finding it difficult to advance on two fronts.

What we have found on the Moss of Cruden and first identified by Dr. E A. FITZPATRICK is the fact that PALAEOLITHIC tool cultures are currently moving, approximately due South, past the static, and definitely; Neolithic Den of Bodam!

Is there anybody out there?

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!
