Thanks Gibbo, Amanda is reviewing that book at the moment, if you see another new book you'd like to review let me know.

Also would you mind changing your forum avatar as you've inadvertently picked Feanor's personal one. I can set you up with your own personal one if you like, just email it over to me. (Dragonsinger yours will be done shortly!)

Hello, I've just joined the forum and saw this post. I know the crags fairly well, having grown up near to the area.

If I can assist in any way, I'd be happy to help.

Thanks Earthling, I'll let you know the next one we get in - are you more of the conventional archaeology or the 'mysteries' leaning?

Beyond the Ice: Creswell Crags and Its Place in a Wider European Context

Since the discovery of Britain's first Ice Age cave art in 2003, the site of Creswell Crags has gained international recognition as one of Britains leading Palaeolithic sites. This accessible volume explores the history of research on the site and draws together and interprets the findings, paying particular attention to the cave art.

Documenting the early fieldwork at the site it uncovers antiquarian discoveries such as the famous horse engraving, excavations in the 1920s that saw our understanding of our early ancestors take shape, discusses the demise of the Neanderthals and the emergence of Modern Man, and looks at how Creswell Crags grew as a heritage attraction of potential World Heritage Status.

The book also challenges the term Creswellian, an isolated British culture that occupied the fringe lands of western Europe, and instead offers hard evidence for viewing Creswell Crags and its inhabitants as being part of a vast Ice Age world.
