Glacial archaeology is a fascinating field that examines the impact of glaciation on the landscape, and how ancient human activity interacted with the forces of ice and meltwater. The processes of glacial erosion and deposition have left behind a variety of landforms, such as moraines and glacial terraces, which not only shape the topography of the region but may also provide clues to human occupation and activity in prehistoric times.

The Thornborough Henges are located within a distinctive and complex landscape that has been shaped over millennia by a combination of glacial forces, river systems, and post-glacial climatic changes. The landscape of Thornborough is defined by its geological foundations and the dynamic processes that transformed the area long before human presence.

For amateur researchers who don’t have access to extensive professional resources, there are still several methods and tools they can use to cross-check previous findings and apply a holistic approach. While they may never have access to every piece of data, they can still adopt strategies that lead to more accurate, well-rounded interpretations. Here are some practical approaches:

In archaeology, congruence refers to the alignment or consistency between various elements of evidence, data, and interpretations. It is the principle that all parts of a research question should fit together seamlessly to offer a coherent and reliable understanding

One of the most powerful tools in archaeology is not just digging deeper into the earth but digging deeper into our own thinking processes. In archaeological research, we often encounter assumptions—either based on prior data, outdated methodologies, or even cultural biases—that shape how we view and interpret the past.
