Now in it's third life, this web site sets out to present the case for iconography in a stone tool collection from the valley of the Colne in England.

Palaeoart can be a controversial subject stirring emotive reactions that illustrate well some of the problems within the discipline of archaeology - not least of which are the issues of bias and subjectivity.

Presented in a truly falsifiable format for the first time, no longer can all "stone art" collectors be summarily dismissed as "seeing images in clouds".

This snapshot of the assemblage is intended to act as base line against which the discussion of potential iconography in lithics can start to be debated and considered in academic circles. At times deliberately provocative, given on the one hand the tremendous sense of apathy and on the other those that are either badly misinformed or worst still simply incompetent.

The website is a "work in progress" but should provide a good sense of things to come. Never one to shy away from difficult issues, I invite criticism, rebuttal and falsfication - which I will happily publish with permission. I trust that the latest incarnation will go some way further to achieving the aim of presenting this material for scientific scrutiny and future preservation.
