Re: New light shed on Stonehenge cremated remains by Hatty on Saturday, 18 August 2018

Thanks for this, Andy. You missed out a key point, namely

"...they found the highest strontium isotope ratios in the remains were consistent with living in western Britain, a region that includes west Wales – the known source of Stonehenge’s bluestones."
It simply isn't good enough to say 'known source' as if it were a self-evident fact. Western Britain covers a fair amount of territory other than 'west Wales' last time I checked.

To be fair, academics often fall into this trap, i.e. not questioning findings from their peers that are published, in PEER-REVIEWED articles.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
