The Erratic that came in from the cold by Andy B on Wednesday, 26 July 2023
(User Info | Send a Message)
Tim Daw writes: Our new paper is a demolition of the idea that a small rock in Salisbury Museum supports the Glacial Transport theory at Stonehenge. To cut a long story to its appropriate length:

"A rhyolite boulder collected by R. S. Newall in 1924 from an excavation at Stonehenge has been pivotal to arguments concerning glacial versus human transport of the bluestones to Stonehenge. Initial studies suggested that the boulder came from north Wales, and hence was a probable glacial erratic. New petrographic and geochemical analyses however support it being from Craig Rhos‐y‐Felin in west Wales, the source of much debitage recovered from Stonehenge. Examination of the form and surface features of the boulder provides no evidence for it being erratic. Instead, it is considered to be one more piece of debitage probably derived from a broken‐up monolith."

The full paper is available here:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/YUUAUVRWBNTZTPSQVBGM?target=10.1002/gea.21971

Lithological description and provenancing of a collection of bluestones from excavations at Stonehenge by William Hawley in 1924 with implications for the human versus ice transport debate of the monument's bluestone megaliths:
Richard Bevins, Rob Ixer, Nick Pearce, James Scourse, Tim Daw
DOI:10.1002/gea.21971

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/YUUAUVRWBNTZTPSQVBGM?target=10.1002/gea.21971

The more excitable section of the Glacial Transport true believers thought it showed signs of glacial striations where it had been dragged under the ice from Wales but the marks are just a slickensided surface. The paper: "We note that identical slickensides characterise the bedrock outcrop at Craig Rhos‐y‐Felin where we can see clear evidence of lateral movement between adjacent blocks in the outcrop".

The bullet like shape was even cited as evidence of it being ice transported but luckily Dr Brian John provides a photograph showing an identical boulder still happily lying at the Craig.

It seems unlikely that a broken bit of stone was transported to Stonehenge, though less likely things have happened so the question is when did the pillar break. I tend to think it was probably when the pillar was being re-erected and it was an accident. Or it might have been deliberate.

It could well have been part of Stone 32d which now only survives as a buried stump.

Do read the complete paper, but the simple message is: the boulder and the samples taken from it show no signs of being glacially transported, it is simply "one more piece of debitage probably derived from a broken‐up monolith".

British Art: Ancient Landscapes April to 3rd September 3, 2017 by Andy B on Friday, 07 April 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Saturday, April 8, 2017 to Sunday, September 3, 2017
Booking: No booking required.
Cost: Normal admission charges apply.

The British landscape has been a continual inspiration to artists across the centuries and particularly the landscapes shaped and marked by our distant ancestors. The megaliths, stone circles and chalk-cut hill figures that survive from Neolithic and Bronze Age times have stimulated many artists to make a response. In this major new exhibition curated by Professor Sam Smiles, these unique artistic responses have been brought together to create a new discussion. Featuring the work of some of the greatest names in British art from the last 250 years, see John Constable, JMW Turner, Eric Ravilious, John Piper, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, Richard Long, Derek Jarman and more, as their work records and reflects on some of our most treasured ancient landscapes.

Re: Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum - New Wessex Gallery Grand Opening by AngieLake on Monday, 09 June 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
Grand opening for Wessex Gallery


SALISBURY Museum’s £2.4m Wessex Gallery will hold its grand opening on Saturday.
[Angie adds: Check date at end of this article! It is next month apparently.]

Everyone is invited along for a day of free celebrations and events where anthropologist and BBC TV Coast and Origins of Us presenter Dr Alice Roberts will officially open the gallery.

It will house one of Europe’s most extensive collections of Stonehenge and prehistoric artefacts including the Amesbury Archer - popularly dubbed the ‘King of Stonehenge’ and the Wardour Hoard.

Along with the chance to view the new Wessex Gallery for free, members of the public will have the opportunity to see Norman falconry displays, try on beautiful Norman dresses or get suited and booted in a knight’s hefty chainmail armour, complete with sword.

There will also be ancient coppicing, stone masonry, pottery-making and wool dyeing demonstrations as well as a chance for people to try their hand at reconstructing a prehistoric face, carve a Stone Age chalk animal and experience an Anglo Saxon burial ritual. There will also be other celebrity guests including Channel 4 Time Team presenter and field archaeologist Phil Harding, who will be demonstrating flint knapping – the ancient art of shaping tools and weapons from stones.

“The grand opening of our new Wessex Gallery is going to be a fantastic all-day event with lots of exciting activities to see and do for all age groups,” said Adrian Green, Salisbury Museum director.

“It’s also a great opportunity for people to see our amazing new Wessex Gallery which brings the prehistory and history of Stonehenge and Wessex to life. It’s one of the best displays and collections of its kind in the world with more than 2,000 rare and fascinating artefacts which tell the story of Stonehenge and early Britain from the mathematical genius of the ancient Britons to the transformational Roman and Norman invasions.”

The new gallery replaces the old Stonehenge, Pitt-Rivers and Early Man galleries and was funded with a grant of nearly £1.8m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The free grand opening event takes place between 10am and 4pm on Saturday, July 12 at Salisbury Museum in the Cathedral Close.

We intended to visit the museum in September 2013 whilst visiting Avebury and Stonehenge. I particularly wanted to see the Amesbury Archer. However when we got to the Devizes museum the Bronze Age display had been removed as a new display is being arranged.
The manager of the Devizes museum gave me an August 2013 copy of trilithon the newsletter of the Wiltshire Arcaeological and Natural History Society, which says "Our new Prehistoric Wiltshire Galleries open on Monday 14th October" "There are four galleries"- I believe that is the Devizes museum part, but may also refer to Salisbury museum, where the new Archaeology of Wessex Gallery is due to open in Spring 2014. Volunteer guides are being sought.

Museum director to cycle from South Wales to Stonehenge raising money for new gallery by Andy B on Wednesday, 18 July 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
Adrian Green, the director of Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum is about to start cycling from South Wales to Stonehenge to raise money for the museum.

Adrian writes "I have always been amazed that our ancestors managed to transport the bluestones from the Preseli Mountains to Stonehenge some 5,000 years ago. To gain some understanding of this monumental task I am cycling the 200 miles from South Wales to Stonehenge in 3 days - 20 - 22nd July 2012. I don't think this will be as difficult as it was to move the stones!

I'm also doing this challenge to raise awareness of the museum's campaign to develop our new Archaeology of Wessex galleries which have just received a grant of £1.8 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Despite this generous support the museum still needs your help to make the new gallery happen so please sponsor to help make this happen."

This follows on from raising almost £700 through sponsorship on the Wessex 50 bike ride last year so a trip from South Wales is clearly upping the fund raising ante this year.

Best of luck Adrian, you can sponsor him here

Tisbury Hoard on show at Salisbury Museum until 26th November by Andy B on Thursday, 17 November 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
An exciting new Bronze Age hoard discovered in west Wiltshire has just gone on display at Salisbury Museum. It was found a month ago in a field near Tisbury by a metal detectorist. He reported the first object, a spearhead, to the Wiltshire Finds Liaison Officer. A team of archaeologists then excavated the remaining objects and recorded how they lay in the ground.

The hoard of over 100 copper alloy objects is over 2,700 years old and dates to the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age. It consists of tools - axe heads, chisels, sickles, gouges, and weapons - spearheads, daggers, knives, swords and scabbard fittings. It is the most important hoard to have been found in Wiltshire since the discovery of the Salisbury Hoard in the 1980s.

It is very unusual for a hoard of this significance to be on display in a regional museum before it has been assessed by the experts at the British Museum. The hoard will only be on display until Saturday 26 November – it will then go to the British Museum for assessment and the local coroner will need to hold an inquest to determine whether it is Treasure Trove.

Hunter Gatherers of the Old Forest, Salisbury Museum, 14 April 2009 by Andy B on Wednesday, 01 October 2008
(User Info | Send a Message)
Hunter Gatherers of the Old Forest: Evidence of pre-farming communities in the New Forest
7:30 pm, Tuesday, 14 April, 2009

A lecture by Stephen Moody, Avon Valley Archaeological Society.

This lecture starts with a look at the archaeology of the New Forest in general and moves on to discuss Post Glacial Britain and the Mesolithic hunter fisher gatherer people and their ever changing environment.

The geology and the gradual reforestation in the wake of the shrinking ice sheets along with marine transgression set the scene. Mesolithic activity in Britain, Europe and beyond is discussed with its relevance to the communities living in the Hampshire basin, later to become The New Forest. The possible flora, fauna and raw materials that would have been available to these pre-farming people is explored as are the settlement sites and insights into their cultural practices. Finally a selection of new forest sites will be discussed with details of their Mesolithic stone tool assemblages from the forest and a site situated on the edge of the Avon valley.

Booking:
No booking necessary, payable on the door

Cost: Museum members £2.00; non-Members £3.50; payable on the door

    Souvenirs, album covers, film, postcards, advertising, guidebooks, art and other tat all "inspired by Stonehenge". Includes the only surviving Stonehenge Bogle (read all about it).

    If you are a UK taxpayer and fill in the "Gift Aid" thing when you buy your admission ticket to the museum then you get a one year pass to return to the museum (as often as you like, I think).

Mending the Mound: Recent Work at Silbury Hill

7:30 pm, Tuesday, 11 March, 2008

A lecture by Jim Leary, English Heritage.

The 2007 Silbury Hill Conservation Project was perhaps the last opportunity for our generation to take a new look at this enigmatic monument.

Jim will consider how retracing Richard Atkinson’s 1968 tunnel into the heart of the hill and using an intensive programme of recording and sampling has provided detail about the construction and use of Silbury Hill. He will also consider the relationship between the practical logistics of building the mound (where did the builders eat and sleep for example) and the ritual/ceremonial function. The construction of Silbury Hill was an enormous enterprise, consuming vast amounts of resources and labour. And yet Silbury Hill provides little evidence for the builders themselves – the construction appears a ‘clinical’ process.

I visited the Salisbury museum today and it really does have a great deal of prehistorical stuff: the newish Stonehenge gallery is good and presented in a child-friendly way (without being childish). Current admission for adults is four pounds, but a voucher from a leaflet from the Tourist Information place knocks it down to three pounds. You could spend all day in this place (and conveniently the ticket allows re-admission on day of purchase).
