CSI: Rombalds Moor
CSI: Rombalds Moor is one of several initiatives developed within the Watershed Landscapes Project, a wide ranging project covering 5 major themes, one of them being the Historic Environment. Earlier this year Pennine Prospects* was awarded a HLF grant of £1.9 M towards the Watershed Landscapes Project which is also in receipt of Leader funding. A Community Archaeologist, Gavin Edwards, has been appointed, and funding has been made available for a number of smaller projects to record aspects of the historic environment across the South Pennines. CSI: Rombalds Moor is one of these projects.

England's Rock Art
Amongst the outcrops and boulders of northern England keen eyes may spot an array of mysterious symbols carved into the rock surfaces. These curious marks vary from simple, circular hollows known as 'cups' to more complex patterns with cups, rings, and intertwining grooves. Many are in spectacular, elevated locations with extensive views but some are also found on monuments such as standing stones and stone circles, or within burial mounds. The carvings were made by Neolithic and Early Bronze Age people between 3500 and 6000 years ago. The original meaning of the symbols is now lost but they provide a unique personal link with our prehistoric ancestors.

The Ancient Carved Stones of Checta, Peru
CHECTA, PERU - Near the quaint village of Santa Rosa de Quives two hours northeast of Lima, Peru lie the phenomenal archaeological site of Checta. A Quechua word meaning "one of many," Checta is home to hundreds of pre-Incan carved petroglyphs. This ancient 5,000 years old site once encompassed a large lake and temple complex buried for eons under a landslide high above the valley.
In one dreadful moment back in 1925, hundreds of ancient carved stones were revealed when a deadly avalanche stormed down the valley killing 14,000 people.
The day we arrived, we were introduced to Doña Consuelo Livia, an 88-year-old great grandmother known as the "Protectress of Checta." She has devoted the past 60 years of her life to the preservation of the site.
Consuelo happily greeted us, eager to share her stories.
