THIS BOOK IS QUITE DIFFERENT. DID THE BLUE STONES COME FROM WALES?
THE AUTHOR SETS DOWN A GOOD CASE IN RESPECT THAT THEY DID NOT.
IT IS ONE THING TO BUILD STONEHENGE WITH STONES ALREADY TO HAND BUT IT IS QUITE ANOTHER TO CONVEY THEM FROM WALES. THOUGHT PROVOKING.

How did the Welsh bluestones get to Stonehenge?

This book, at first sight, appears to claim that the bluestones were carried part way from Pembrokeshire to Stonehenge by glacial action, whereas in fact, what Brian John is mainly trying to do, and has been for some time, is to force archaeologists to become less sloppy and more scientifically stringent.
As you can imagine, this hasn’t gone down too well with the archaeological world, and John had to work hard to get his book placed back on the shelves of the Stonehenge visitor centre.
The following is a recent placement on his blog …
“Following that glitch in ordering and supply, I'm happy to report that a stock of "The Bluestone Enigma" (the book that tells the other story) is back in the EH warehouse, and should shortly be back on the shelves at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. So even though there is a powerful emphasis on the "historical orthodoxy" of the human transport story as related by EH, there is at least a willingness to accept that there are alternatives........Strangely, there appears to be much less willingness on the part of other museums / information centres in Wiltshire to stock and sell the book, in spite of numerous approaches by myself and others. ”
Readers prepare to be at least partly converted to the glacial transport theory by this highly recommended book.

Will The Enigma be Definitively Solved

I found the book more than interesting, informative and provocative. Back in the 1970's, I did a study of the sediments of the Severn Estuary, not too far from Stonehenge. A small section of the study focused on their heavy mineral content which indicated the primary provenance of this saturated, immature and exotic mineral suite came from metamamorphic and igneous rocks of N.W. Scotland and the Mona Complex of Anglesey of North Wales. Reading Kellaway's paper of 1971, I too suggested Irish Sea ice may have been the transport method for these sediments and left it at that. This was not the main thrust of my research, but it does lend support to the theory on the Bluestone Enigma authored by Brian John.

The book does point out that more work needs to be done to determine how the stones got from Pembroke to Stonehenge. Similarly, more exacting modern provenance studies of the sediments along route might be revealing.

The book certainly whetted my appetite for more answers, after a 40 year gap of my own studies, wondering how the stones got there. The book cries out for a definitive answer that may never be solved.
