Startling evidence of a Stone Age structure in the Solent

While it might have been dismissed as underwater junk by the untrained eye, the archaeologists soon realised they had discovered a vital clue to a lost civilisation. The timber was not isolated. In fact they found another 23 pieces of all shapes and sizes intersecting throughout the underwater cliff off Bouldnor, on the north coast of the Isle of Wight. They are now convinced the timber is evidence of a huge wooden structure built about 8,000 years ago by our Mesolithic ancestors. Garry Momber has been excavating the 1km-long site for more than a decade and believes it is the most significant find to date... This summer's three-day dive cost £3,600, a sum covered by donations and support from the National Oceanography Centre.

This one has one of the best titles in the history of publishing (well, at the very least, in the history of kinda fringey books), but reads like the author has ADHD. So I haven't finished it. That was a couple of years ago...

In this hemisphere, the most interesting stuff seems to be taking place in Brazil.

Any old posts on this?

Thanks!

I really loved the Anna Roosevelt stuff. She is a worthy great-grandaughter of President Teddy and granddaughter of General Teddy! The expedition eating Piranha for dinner was interesting. Better them than us!

I wonder what the Amazonian climate was like during the Younger Dryas? Most of North America certainly wouldn't have been very welcoming. It's interesting to think of the Amazon basin as far more populous back in the day than it was when Europeans arrived.
