BILLOWN NEOLITHIC LANDSCAPE PROJECT
An on-going excavation, located on the British Isle of Man, discovered in the course of a field walking area project in the mid 1980's.  It is particularly interesting because before excavations, beginning in 1993, the site did not give a hint of prehistoric occupation.  However, excavations by Bournemouth University (Professor Timothy Darvill) and Manx National Heritage (Dr. Peter Davey) have brought forth a great deal of information about early farming societies (c. 4000-2000 B.C.) in Western Europe.  Especially appropriate for university students to understanding the complexities and background of a prehistoric site.  http://www.csweb.bournemouth.ac/uk/consci.billown/
