British newspaper The Guardian ran an article on the project of ERC grantee Professor Alasdair Whittle from Cardiff University.
Prof. Whittle is using a revolutionary technique for dating ancient remains to develop precise chronologies for the Neolithic period throughout Europe. In Britain,he discovered stone-age gatherings equivalent of the Glastonbury festival. People met andspent several days eating, drinking and dancing. These tribal gatherings were held on causewayed enclosures, large hilltop earthworks built after farming was brought to Britain from the continent 6,000 years ago.
Prof. Whittle received a € 2.5 million ERC Advanced grant to enable him to date neolithic sites across the continent.
There was wider media coverage of this project inother newspapers such as The Daily Mail.
