]]> Comment on Evidence of Ice Age hunters found below North Sea by Jon Erlandson, University of Oregon http://news.wessexarch.co.uk/2008/03/09/evidence-of-ice-age-hunters-found-below-north-sea/#comment-51 Jon Erlandson, University of Oregon Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:03:32 +0000 http://news.wessexarch.co.uk/2008/03/09/evidence-of-ice-age-hunters-found-below-north-sea/#comment-51 The discovery of these Paleolithic tools on the floor of the North Sea is very significant, one of the few instances where such finds have been reasonably well documented. We know that there are vast terrestrial landscapes submerged on the continental shelves, but the archaeological exploration of these landscapes is in its infancy. This discovery provides further evidence that dredging and other human impacts to these submerged landscapes should be carefully considered, with input and monitoring by archaeologists. It is outstanding that the general location of this discovery can be reconstructed--and dredging in the area redirected--but it would be wonderful to have more specific details about the location, context, and contents of the site that produced these rare finds. Good job, Jan Muelmeester! The discovery of these Paleolithic tools on the floor of the North Sea is very significant, one of the few instances where such finds have been reasonably well documented.

This offer regarding your free books sounds too good to be true. But if it is I'd love a few of the books. Please let me know who I should make the cheque payable to, and I'll send it straight away, along with a print-off of this page, plus a list of the books I'm primarily interested in. Best wishes - Paul Hi there!
