engraved pink pebble. found photo. proto-magdalenian from laugerie haute. abstraction ran through the art of prehistory often in association with the depiction of animals but with no counterpart in the visible world, expressing a reality that goes beyond representation. the laugerie haute cave shelter was occupied from the late périgordian to middle magdalenian, 24000 -14000 bp

redhouse standings stones.
redhouse standings stones. found out these should probably be referred to as the redhouse standing stones. from the local farmhouse and not to the kerris stones as there the is another triangular stone by the last name. these two very nice stones are not in the official monument record although they have been recorded by both mitchell and barnet in the 60’s. many of the close by have given up many finds spanning both the mesolithic and the neolithic so they are in good company. a feature of the fields in which they stand is the large number of stones set in the boundary ‘hedges’. one such can be seen just to the right of the stone. and at the far left of the photo along the boundary edge

ben at sheffield quarry.
ben at sheffield quarry.
sheffield is thought to have been established to house the workers of the sheffield quarry and later the surrounding farms. the settlement was built along the road into newlyn where the quarry’s stone had to be crated for shipment. the area is thought to have been inhabited as far back as the mesolithic (8000 BC to 4001 BC) and the neolithic (4000 BC to 2501 BC). many artefacts from this period were recovered from an arable field at sheffield farm in 2003.
the principal stone of the district is the well-known land’s end granite. sheffield quarry, is post-medieval and has been continuously worked from 1540 AD to the late 1920s

west penwith: axe production and distribution as a guide to prehistoric connectivity
the distribution of lithic material and its suggested disposition of axe factories at this point creates a fascinatingly complex and gradually unfolding picture of prehistoric interaction. a series of stages of activity is suggested — stage 1 is difficult to
