Talk:Megalith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Akaulins, you have made some edits which I disagree with and which require substantiation. Your implication the megalithic technology dispersed from a central point needs backing up or at least a discussion of separate regional development.

The rest of your additions do not seem to be closely connected with megaliths, instead being a general view of the Neolithic and Bronze Age and I think it should be moved there for further discussion. In brief: Although Neolithic settlement sites are relatively sparse you should mention the 'absence of evidence' arguments of Megaw and Simpson and Burl's roundhouses. The precise domestic role of the Neolithic longhouse may be open to question but when coupled with the large number of ambiguous Neolithic structures found in Britain then there is a body of evidence you are ignoring.

[edit] Nabta Playa

Can someone verify the edits regarding Nabta Playa ? I refer you to User:Mark Dingemanse/Roylee. Wizzy…☎ 09:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Would this be clearer, with IN replacing FROM?

The term can be used to describe buildings erected by people IN many parts of the world living in many different periods. Angela26 14:37, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] proposal to merge megalithic archetictural elements with this

this article is t laid out well and could include all the info contained in Megalithic architectural elements which is in it self a merge of several small articles scattered in a rather unhelpful cat called [[Category:archaeological features]] which clashes with the term feature in [[Category: Methods and principles in archaeology]] Boris 10:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
