Archaeologists were stunned to discover a prehistoric city when a reservoir was drained -- the Tottiford Reservoir, near Moretonhampstead. So far it has yielded ten burial cairns and artifacts dating from 4,000 to 8,000 years ago.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The headline is rather unfortunate but I suppose they are competing for readers, after all.

The local rep for the Dartmoor National Park Authority is quoted as saying, "There are a lot of earlier recordings in this area of polished stone axes and so on - and I've always wondered why they were there. This place could have been the focus for all that activity."

You're welcome, Minnie. My DH is a Brit and we're planning a trip there next Fall (when the last kid heads off to college). I'll have to add that place to our very long list of cities and towns we wish to visit. Can't wait.

Can I admit to a teeny bit of envy here? Wish I could stow away in your luggage and tour the place too.
