Humans get a study from Wales, study

Bluestone is believed to have been one of the first stones built in Stonhenge, about 5,000 years ago.

Boulder in the Stonehenge was taken by humans to the site of the memorial, rather than being drawn by glaciers, new scientific research claims.

The ancient monument near Salisbury in South-West England was built with stones in all parts of Great Britain, including small Bluestone Megaliths, most of which came from North Pembrookshire, 140 miles (225 km) away.

While many archaeologists believe that small bluestones were transported by humans from the Presley Hills, others believe that they were carried by glacial ice long before the creation of the Stonhenge.

Now, a research team at the University of Aberystwyth says its work suggests that there is “no evidence” to support ice transport theory.

Bluestones are believed to be the first on the Wiltshire site about 5,000 years ago.

The work of the team focused on the so-called neo-boulder, a 22x15x10cm rock in 1924 excavated with Craig Ross-Y-Felin at Pambrookshire in Stonhenge.

Construction at previous work, researchers presented a new data that shows the boulder, now in the collection of the Salisbury Museum,

In an article published in the Journal for Archaeological Research, Professor Richard Bewins concluded that “there is no evidence for snow, as far as the salicebury is spread in the south as the plane”, where the monument is located.

“New evidences allow us to repeat our earlier interpretation that the boulder is not a glacial irregular, but is taken from a fragmented monolith in the Stonhenge. […] Craig was taken from Ros-Y-Felin to Stonhenge by the newcomer people, “says the article

The work of the team challenged a competitive principle that the boulder was reduced to size and was heavily modified during glacier transport, and was eventually dumped relatively or relatively close to the Salisbury ground.

The principle that the boulder’s size was replaced by ice is supported by five arguments related to its size, including its crude bullet shape top.

But Professor Bavin and his team stated that most of the characteristics were cited “only surface can be generated by weathering”.

If Bluestone was also moved by the ice part from their source towards the Stonhenge in West Wales, the Westics – rocks that have been moved by the glaciers – from the Presli Mountains of West and South Wales, they said.

Researchers said, “There are mistakes in some fields,” there is no record of very distinctive spotter dollarite used in Stonhenge “, the researchers said.

He said that the “total absence” of the spotted dolorite – a specific rock known as Bluestone – ahead of the Narbarth region in the Pambrookshire, and the evidence for the conclusion of the neo -packed stone in both Craig Ross -Y -Fellin “in favor of human transport”.
