Archaeological excavation revealed a latest Iron Age to Roman settlement typical of the Cotswold Hills for this period. The fieldwork revealed a complex settlement comprising numerous ditched (and hedged) pens, paddocks and enclosures which had been re-ordered on numerous occasions. The settlement was not enclosed per se but was aligned on a nearby ditched trackway. The emphasis on numerous small enclosures is thought to indicate that livestock management was the dominant economic activity of the occupants. Sieving recovered few charred cereal seeds and no facilities for cereal processing (such as corn driers) or storage were recorded. The faunal remains indicated a typical range of stock animals dominated by cattle followed by sheep and pig with some horse. Few finds were indicative of any wealth and the settlement was probably that of an ordinary farming community comprised of several related families. As with many settlement across southern England the site originated in the mid 1st century AD, flourished in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD only to decline and then be abandoned in the 4th century AD. There were no indications of later occupation until the site was overlain by Medieval ditches and ridge and furrow field system.

Fieldwork revealed details of a wide landscape of Roman fields and enclosures laid out around the junction of two droveways and probably spanning the entire Roman period. An early Iron Age roundhouse radiocarbon dated to 653-542 cal BC had previously occupied the same area that was to be close to the heart of the Roman enclosures. However, the chief interest of the site lies in the late Roman period (later 3rd to 4th century) when a rectangular villa was constructed on the terrace edge overlooking the river Cam. Initially of just three rooms it was soon expanded to six and the southern end was then subdivided to form a bath suite. Although of very simple plan form, the building was of some sophistication with very substantial deep stone foundations carrying stone walls, an elaborate hypocaust, decoratively painted wall plaster, stone roof, and furniture including some with decorative stone tops. Other signs of obvious wealth, however, are lacking. The villa seems to have been demolished by the end of the 4th century, possibly earlier. The faunal component of the economy comprised a typical dominance of cattle followed by sheep/goat and pig with few exotic species, and the proportions of which changed little through the life of the settlement. Evidence for arable production was again typically modest, with no structures such as corn driers present, though millstones imply large scale production of flour.

Excavations in advance of gravel extraction on a 10ha site revealed a landscape occupied from the Later Bronze Age to the early Roman period, with later use in the Medieval period. The site published here complements a significant excavation to the south which had produced evidence for the earliest iron working in Britain. The results help to set the south site into its local landscape context, and also cover a longer timespan. A single Middle Bronze Age pit was followed by numerous Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pits, best classed as a dispersed open settlement. Finds of smelting slag from this period confirm the early dating for the iron working found to the south. Middle and Later Iron Age features also mostly comprised pits and postholes with no clear structural associations, although a ring ditch and up to a dozen post-built roundhouses can be projected and the continuation of a large enclosure from the earlier site. An area of industrial activity included more iron production from the 6th century BC onwards. Three pit alignments were also identified, one containing a density of iron slag. One pit also contained a quantity of acorns, a rarity on British sites. Two late Iron Age urned cremations were identified, and one Roman, and several deposits of pyre debris may be of either period. Late Iron Age to early Roman ditches represented three phases of an enclosure, likely part of a wider organization of the landscape at this time. Two iron-smelting hearths were identified, one of which contained in situ slag from the last firing of the furnace. All of the Roman deposits dated from the mid-1st to 2nd century AD. This early abandonment is in contrast to the later Roman date for the few Roman features to the south, so that a southwards shift in the focus of activity seems to be indicated rather than outright abandonment. The Medieval period was represented by a small isolated farm dated to the 11th to 12th centuries AD, although economic evidence was very sparse. The site's chronology is supported by an extensive radiocarbon dating programme and this volume includes reports on substantial assemblages of pottery (mostly prehistoric), metallurgical residues, and charred plant remains, but soil conditions were not favourable to the survival of most other classes of finds.

In school, you probably were told that Cro-Magnon Man appeared about 35 thousand years ago and after 25 thousand years humanity finally got to the Stone Age. We stayed there for another 7 thousand years to get to something called the primitive Bronze Age and then in the past 5 thousand years almost every bit of civilized development occurred. Your teachers told you it happened so you didn't even question it. Unfortunately, most of that was a lie. Researchers, anthropologists, archeologists, historians, scientists, teachers, and even clergy all knew it or should have known. OK Some were just misinformed or trusted glorified "liars" who lied to them without doing any research. Without question, most, had and have seen, at least, some of the thousands and thousands of pieces of evidence that went against the craziness, and declared major portions of that evidence to be anomalous and unworthy of consideration, as the details may cause confusion

Here is the problem. Many things we are being taught as scientific facts or are "established- theories" agreed to by established experts is rubbish used to bolster the reputations of individuals and their mentors. Instead of developing reason behind their flawed theories, they claim their "expertise" and push agenda driven concepts void of truth or skewed so badly that the truth cannot be understood. We have been letting this happen for decades and it has got to stop. A whole nation was almost poisoned by Radium and Heroin by expert theories and our entire ancient history has been twisted to secure theories with no basis. This book reexamines a number of fake theories applauded by the scientific community when there is no justification. We know ancient giant humans walked with dinosaurs. We know that 1/2 of all major human mutation occurred 11 thousand years ago and know the most of the remaining major mutations occurred 5 thousand years ago. We also know the planet Venus was not destroyed by what they call the greenhouse effect. We know the Earth axis shifted 10 thousand years ago and quickly froze massive herds of Mammoths and Siberian Unicorns. We also know massive war decimated the Earth 11 thousand years ago and again 5500 years ago. On and on we can go, with massive amounts of evidence that shows we have been lied to by what we will have to call fake scientists whose degrees and associations with their scientific peers is more important that the truth. Hopefully, this book will help you see something much closer to the truth.

There are things you probably don't know about Jesus' trusted 80+ close disciples that will help you understand the Bible in general. You know most were sent out during the Day of Pentecost and all healed the sick, drove out demons, and, possibly, even brought people back to life, including Judas Iscariot. You know there were 14 special ones called Apostles. OK Paul called himself an Apostle as he didn't believe in Jesus as Messiah until after Jesus had died and Matthias only became an apostle by election after Jesus died as well, but there is so much that can be found out about thee important men that will completely amaze you. To find out, we will examine many additional works that expand our awareness without disrupting the small part of history still remaining in our "updated" New Testaments.

This book describes the life of one of the most mysterious heroes of the Bible. Job was closely related to Moses, lived during the time of Moses, and helped Moses save the Jews. At the same time job was related to a Scythian Prince who would be very important to the survival of the Jews in Egypt. So much of Job's story is missing from the Bible, it makes no sense. This book fills in the details from dozens of ancient texts which confirm everything you didn't know about this important man in the history of mankind. Loved by God, he was tested beyond almost anyone's breaking point and he survived it all being one of the three most holy people in the Bible. If you have ever wondered why the "job" book was in the Bible, or why there are so few references outside that book about this great man, or how Moses knew such intimate details about this man, or why Moses stayed so many years in and around Kadesh-Barna, or how Scotland was named, or what became of Moses' adoptive mom, or who she was in the first place and why her name is not found anywhere in Egyptian history, or why Egyptians had a month festival to the drowning of King Apepi in the Red Sea, and so many more questionable elements, you need to read this book.

Elijah was such a great man; God didn't let him die like others. After sleeping for over 800 years, he returned 3 more times to affect all of our lives, including his brother named Jesus and his other 12 brothers and sisters. Our investigation takes us from 3 thousand years ago when Elijah was first born, to South America, to ancient Babylon, to Egypt, and into the future while trying see how he gained his massive family even when his mom and dad both died before he was 5. Within a couple of years of each other, a 12-year-old girl dances to kill John-the-Baptist; Elijah is reincarnated a 2nd time; his brother Jesus is whipped and crucified; and then, Elijah is reincarnated a third time. As he goes back to sleep, we will look at many ancient references, both secular and religious to gain the insight we need to understand the Secret Life of Elijah that made him so amazing.

The man we call Moses was an Egyptian prince and a Cushite husband and king. He was the Adoptive son of a Scythian Prince; his second wife was a Mideanite; and he is credited with saving the Egyptians, the Irish, the Cushites, the Gauls, the Jews, and the Egyptians during his lifetime. He did all this while converting a million enslaved people into a fighting Army that could not be beat. Even giants could not withstand their might. Moses also had a huge friend during all of this named Job. Most only know a tiny portion of how this man changed so very many things. It's time to see the complete picture. Moses was a man of God, but he also was king of the Cushites for over 20 years and was a great general for many years and his life is so entwined in the development of our history that not learning about him is a travesty. The Egyptians gave him the royal name of Moses that was adopted by over 25 rulers and the Jews called him by that name to show their respect for the Theban Egyptians. There are some things you may not have been told. It's now time to find out about Moses.

Many stories in the Bible are said to be silly, impossible, or scary and they are not read. Stories about Vampires, zombies, magic bones, ghosts, ancient giants, the ancient Jurassic Park remake, ancient flying machines, blowing up Venus, killing dragons, the first Rip-Van-Winkle, the Jews finding America, the magic of fish-guts, turning people into Goats, Unicorns, fish eating at a banquet, people turned into apes, and many similar topics.. Don't be afraid of the Bible. Important truths are carried in these very strange parts of our history. Read the book and be enlightened,

Many things about the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus have been removed from modern preaching. It is such a shame. I don't know if it is because preachers don't know what to say, but in many ways the limitations of the Secrets of Jesus are simply hidden because some don't like what he suggested and that is criminal. If you do read this book you will expand your awareness of Jesus and some of the questions you will have trying to reconcile what you read will be answered. This will be done by looking at many additional works that have cycled from being in the Bible and out of the Bible over the years. Additionally, we will reread verses that have been glossed over to make things be the way a preacher or a particular religion wants Christianity to be rather than what Jesus said.
