If you want a fix of prehistory I understand the Beeb are currently working on a TV series covering folks in Britain from the end of Ice Age to pesky Roman arrival. Haven’t the foggiest idea about airing, but a certain long haired Scottish historian is touted as presenting

Neil Oliver is one of my favourites. If he was a bit bigger...  ...but I like his accent, his hair, and his feisty attitude.

Ah yes Martyn, think Katie Hirst and Alice Roberts may have been excluded for being on that daft Extreme Archaeology series

Yes it was a pity that there were no interviews with local experts, it was all about Bettany. Apart from that man chipping the boat in the background we saw no one else in a one and a half hour programme. Surely she didn't really collect those murex shells herself by free-diving?! It must have been an unseen local diver who got them for her. It was a 2004 programme so suppose it was made before the current obsession for realism in documentaries.

The final conclusion of the programme was interesting though. Very little talk of tsunamis or volcanos wiping out Crete and more suggestion of internal strife.
I've been reading about Crete for 15yrs and have never found a geologist who agrees with volcano/tsunami theory. I've even read about fossils being discovered in the caldera of Santorini that prove enormous event happened long before (approx) 1500BC.
My favourite is from Melanie, who with her huband run a small local store. Her Greek grandmother, she is born of Greek & English parents, told her of a tsunami in the 1950's that drained the water in the Gulf of Olous before pouring back in and deposited shells up to 500m up the local mountains. The story goes that the shells on the mountains show this happened.
Maybe this is a case of local folklore influencing archaeologists theories?
