Good thoughts. Thanks, all.
Rune, Now you say it, Mr. Devereux would possibly be the perfect person. His book Symbolic Landscapes is wonderful and I have referred to it again and again. I will also look into Mr. Tilley.
Anyway, hope you and the family are well!

Hi Aluta, good to see you, here's a couple of ideas,
Paul Devereux - his articles in 'Time and Mind' are peer reviewed and would appeal to the more conventional attendees.
Also look for anyone specialising in phenomenology of landscape.

If megaliths are not central then maybe an anthropologist / ethnographer might be more suitable . Tim Ingold ?

Well, they have to be alive now. This is for a special event, a meeting of groups from across North America, in 2014, that will include people variously related to things involving the earth and landscape, not specifically to do with megaliths in particular.
But as it happens, I am allowed to choose people to invite, and it seems to me that we could do with a British person who is involved with writing and thinking about ancient concepts of sacred landscape. It is a perspective on the earth and landscape that people over here have very little awareness of. So I'm casting about for names, and maybe a list including some impractical impossible names wouldn't hurt to start.

Is this a fantasy list or a real list - ie do you want suggestions for people who might actually do a real talk?

You could try George Children and George Nash. They cowrote some Megalithic guides for Logaston guides," Monuments in the Landscape".

Hello, old friends and new,
I wonder if you could help me. I am looking for people's lists of the five (or less if you can only think of one, two, three, or four) people in Great Britain who might be the best writers and speakers on the subject of Sacred Landscape. It doesn't matter if they are rather mystical about it or not at all mystical, just analytical about what the ancients or modern traditional cultures may have believed or currently believe.
Thanks!
