A link would be useful:

Paul Bahn is a rock art ultra sceptic so a vaguely positive review from him is quite an achievement

Anyone interested in British open-air prehistoric rock art should find this interpretive study very illuminating. A series of essays based on real fieldwork including archaeoastronomy. See the Prehistoric Society Website for a review. The authors are currently working on a second volume.

Could you give us an example of the archaeoastronomy please Alan ?

I wouldn't necessarily expect a vast assemblage of erratics over a wide area -- the entrainment of erratics could have been over quite a short period, and the dumping of them might have been quite localised. As I explain in the book, there may have been a trail of erratics that the Stonehenge builders simply followed back towards the source, collecting them all up (of all shapes and sizes) until they were all gone.... But much more work needs to be done in W Wiltshire and in Somerset. There's a new buildings survey just starting -- let's see what that throws up.
The theory is still just a theory, and has to be reinforced by further evidencxe. But there is already a great deal more evidence favouring glacvial transport than there is favouring human transport. On the latter theory, there is ZERO evidence and a mountain of supposition.

so all these stones to be found at stonehenge that originated in wales that your theory suggests were collected locally, have any similar sized stones from wales been found anywhere across the region in a non archaeological context? or is this something that requires further research?

In case anybody is interested, I've posted a small video on YouTube:

The truth as I see it. A bit different from the truthsd opn some of the other Stonehenge videos on YouTube.

Mountainman, what's the name of the book?
Personally I don't agree with the glacial theory, but any other ideas are welcome as a research tool.
