I was just going through my collection of sharks teeth and to my surprise I found 25 tiny flint and obsideon (?) arrowheads! I would not have recognized how important this was if not for Phil. They are probably for birds by their size..1/2" and smaller. Some look like Christmas trees and some are Eiffel tower shape and a few are like tiny three pointed throwing stars. Beautiful smalls I collected sitting on the beach in the Keys of Florida. Thank you time team for teaching us!

As a mechanic who went into engineering, I find the radar cart to be poorly designed. There's no reason it couldn't have larger wheels. You just use a drop axle. That would allow the sensors in the radar to be close to the ground but still having much larger wheels. You see the same thing on poorly designed for lawn mowers. The radar card was probably designed by electrical or electronic engineers. The frame and wheels should have been designed by a mechanical engineer.

A 'raider' community was actually my first thought, 'defensive' yes, but rather to 'defend' the bullies from those they were stealing from. With so few resources on the headland, how could such a community sustain itself? From an 'economics' point of view, each house must have been expensive as the resources to build them had to come from further and further distances, and be very well built to withstand the weather conditions. Additionally as the raiders continued to 'raid' they would have needed to travel further to find cattle herds to steal. Very interesting 'dig' which again creates more excellent questions! Love it!

Robbery is a zero-sum game for society as a whole.

Early in the program I was thinking that the place could be a lookout, an outpost to provide an early warning of invasion to a larger community further inland. But it became too large for just that purpose. It seems a difficult place to live with the wind and exposure to the elements. What did they use for burning fuel? Wood? Pete? And how far did they have to travel to obtain it. How self- reliant could they be up on that peak? How long could they resist a siege? Where did they bury their dead? Strange.
