Sedgeford Historical and Archaeology Research Project

I have just spent a great week studying 'Human Remains' at the Anglo Saxon excavation site in Sedgeford, Norfolk, East Anglia.

Cave Art

I am going to Cresswell crags on Thursday afternoon to visit the Church Hole Cavern where Britains answer to Cave Art is situated. At first I was told it was not open to the general public as they had schools trips every day but when I said I was an archaeologist they have made a special visite for me!! I hope to take some photos and post them next week. Gerald

Singing Megaliths.

On Wednesday I returned to Avebury to take more photos and see what had happened since the big excavation at Silbury Hill. Photos will be posted soon.

Medieval Frescoes in Bulgaria

On May 10th I am off for nearly three weeks to Bulgaria to chase Medieval Frescoes in abandoned churches and mon asteries with Balkan Heritage. I shall be returning with lots of photos and hopefully some good stories. Anyone with information please let me know. Gerald I have been back just over a week now but I am still having difficulty sorting my photos of which there are nearly 1000.

Holiday in Jersey, Channel Islands, UK

Eileen and I have just returned from a short holiday on the beautiful island of Jersey (British but close to France). I shall send details to anyone who wants more details. To keep busy apart from reading Renfrew and Bahn on subsistence, I visited 2 of the twelve megalith sites and a medieval Fishermans Chapel for the frescoes. With the next few days I shall be bringing you my photos. Gerald

Enjoy your trip, Gerald! I enjoy medieval iconography, with all of its heavy blacks and reds...I await your photos and stories. Just remember to cross yourself from right to left when you enter the monasteries!

Explainations are up! They are mainly Geology Club outings all within the Mojave Desert and Owen's Valley in Cailfornia... Thanks for the inquiry!

Very interesting photos. What is the dating on the graves? Regarding the unusual foot-shaped markings, perhaps a chemical analysis of them would shed some light on what they are?
