Bouldnor Cliff is a great Mesolithic site but the announcement made in the news that it is a 'village' was press spin and not accurate. I suggest a name change and will provide more detail a soon as I have time. The definitive book on the project has just been published: http://www.britarch.ac.uk/books/momber2011 PatHadley (talk) 22:49, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This looks really interesting news Pat. Under water archaeology in this area and also perhaps the Dogger bank could/should change our understanding of the Mesolithic and I'm delighted (and astonished) they've published as quickly as this. As always, I'm looking for the most accuracy and have no problems with a name change etc. JRPG (talk) 21:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recent updates[edit]

Hi RangerSteve, Thanks for your recent edits! Have you got hold of the latest book? You might want to look at some of the templates I've added to the Star Carr article (still far from decent). Maybe we can get all the British Mesolithic sites up to a good standard sooner than I thought. Get in touch if you want help with other Mesolithic stuff (I'm not so hot on the WP tech though!

Cheers Pat. I've just sat down to copy the infobox template you use there! Ranger Steve ^Talk 09:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
