A project I've been working on for a while is to scan and make available PDF versions of 3rd Stone magazine, the renowned 'earth mysteries' magazine that closed in 2003. See the comments below for links to new issues as they get scanned. The scans start with 17,18,19 and 20 - previous numbers to this were Gloucestershire Earth Mysteries and I don't have copies - if you do and would like to lend them to be scanned please let me know.

As a tribute to the late Aubrey Burl I have skipped forward to make available Issue 30 from 1995 which has some very interesting articles in.
The theme of issue 30 is Being There: Experiencing Ancient Sites, Contents:
Kenneth Brophy - This is Not Phenomenology
Caron Burt - Muddy Feet and Bright Blue Fingers
Cheryl Straffon - Does the Goddess Live Here?
D. J. Adams McGilp - Kilmartin House
Jerry Wellard - Visions of Prehistory
K. M. Koppana - Stones, Trees and Rock Paintings
Paul Newman - Panic! Panic!
Huw Sherlock - Time Team or Tame Team?
Aubrey Burl - Ever-Increasing Circles
Jeremy Harte - Show Me the Way to Go Home
Nick Thorpe - The Archaeology of the Undead

I've also scanned the final bumper issue 47, which was a bit of a nightmare to keep straight but I managed it)

Issue 47 Contents:
Caught Knapping: The Strange Career of Flint Jack - Robert Halliday
Wassail! The origins of a drinking toast - Richard Sermon
Stones of Power... Raised in Magic Hour - Robert Farrah

..and more articles, news and reviews
