Neolithic News!

For those readers who are Dorset residents, or a nearby county, this is the next monthly talk and get-together. 

Dorset Archaeology: a once a month talk on the deep past of the county.

Brought to you by Dorset Diggers Community Archaeology Group. Sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

April 11th 2pm at Stratton village hall. Talks last about 45 minutes.  

This month it is the Neolithic: farming, pottery, monuments and religion.  

Was the Neolithic a new way of life? What exactly is a cursus monument? What were bank barrows used for? Which Dorchester c.5,000-year-old monument is still used today?

These questions will be looked at by the speaker for general discussion, with tea/coffee and cake/biscuits as well! Come along to meet other archaeology enthusiasts, have a chat and exchange ideas.
