Crystal River Archaeological State Park submitted by Andy B on 9th Jan 2011. The Crystal River archaeological site is made up of a group of shell middens, burial mounds and platform mounds. These features comprise a larger ceremonial complex of plazas and other landscape features. Two large platform mounds on the site are believed to have been used primarily for ceremonial purposes. Thier size, structural uniformity and distinctive flat tops set them apart from the other mounds and middens at the site, denoting their special purpose.

Ash Hill Long Barrow submitted by Andy B on 23rd Jan 2011. Steve Fuller wrote: I do not have any photos as such but I do have some video footage and have taken a still from it looking north along the track at the farm.
As I said it is very overgrown although the barrow is very visible through the thorns if you go to have a look. Sunday afternoons probably best.

Threatened Rock Shelters in Islamabad
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Pakistan
Visited: Yes on 25th Jan 2011
Threatened Rock Shelters in Islamabad submitted by Andy B on 25th Jan 2011. A ‘rock shelter’ (also known as rock house, crepuscular cave or ‘abri’) is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or cliff. ‘Rock shelters’ form because a rock stratum such as sandstone, which is resistant to erosion and weathering, has formed a cliff or bluff, but a softer stratum, more subject to erosion and weathering, lies just below the resistant stratum, and thus undercuts the cliff.
