'The Cradle of Stonehenge'? Blick Mead - a Mesolithic Site in the Stonehenge Landscape - Professor D

This talk outlines the newly discovered local landscape history of the Vespasian's Camp area, the field interventions, and concludes with a review of the site and its wider significance and context for the later development of the Stonehenge ritual landscape. www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
The discovery of a spring and a Mesolithic land surface at Blick Mead about 2 km from Stonehenge, that has well preserved and substantial Mesolithic deposits, potentially transforms our understanding of the Mesolithic use of the pre-Stonehenge landscape, and the establishment of its later ritual landscape.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...

    Just a thought.... the slate tool found by Mike Clark is from Wales... is there a way to pinpoint it's source? It would be interesting if it was from near the Preseli Hills and might illustrate an early association of prestige stone between the Stonehenge area and SW Wales.

    And just where is Blick Mead on the map you show? Seems like an important detail.

    The knife looks right handed to me. Your thumb goes along the back instead of wrapped around.
