Voldtofte Lusehøj
Date Added: 11th Jan 2013
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 11th Oct 2012
Voldtofte Lusehøj submitted by Andy B on 11th Oct 2012. A piece of nettle cloth retrieved from Denmark's richest known Bronze Age burial mound Lusehøj may actually derive from Austria, new findings suggest.
2,800 years ago, one of Denmark's richest and most powerful men died. His body was burned. And the bereaved wrapped his bones in a cloth made from stinging nettle and put them in a stately bronze container, which also functioned as urn.

Moel-y-Gaer (Loggerheads) submitted by Andy B on 23rd Oct 2012. A piece of vitrified material / flow slag, dimensions c. 15X10x10 cm.
It looks likely that this material was brought to the hillfort as part of a 'founding' event in the building of the ramparts.

Fishing spear.
This fishing spear was used by fishermen Skæl and Søle one May morning in the year of 8232 BCE to catch a tuna fish off the coast of Fænø. In view of the fact that rice was not yet grown in the region, Søle was forced to produce their tuna sushi exclusively using wild grains and the bitter horseradish that Fænø remains famous for. It is possible to order a meal in Copenhagen’s restaurant Noma based entirely on Søle�...

Truro Eastern District Centre Neolithic Enclosure
Date Added: 11th Jan 2013
Site Type: Causewayed Enclosure
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 8th Nov 2012
Truro Eastern District Centre Neolithic Enclosure submitted by Andy B on 8th Nov 2012. Initial findings from the excavations suggest the eastern end of the site may have been a ‘causewayed enclosure’ dating from the early Neolithic period (3800BC to 3600BC). Later activity on the site includes the deposition of Late Neolithic Grooved Ware in pits within the enclosure, one of which also contained a stunning piece of Neolithic art carved onto both sides of a slate disc.

Bishop Eastern Sierra Petroglyphs submitted by Andy B on 20th Nov 2012. An area in the Volcanic Tableland in eastern California where thieves apparently attempted to carve out a petroglyph and then decided to move on without it.
