10,000 year old engravings have been found in a Somerset cemetery. Researchers (Graham Mullan and Linda Wilson) from Bristol University's Speleological Society discovered the engravings in the local Mendip Hills cave. The engravings were in the shape of crosses, on the wall of Avelin Hole in Burrington Combe. The caves were used for burials after the end of the last Ice Age. The most interesting thing: the patterns are similar to finds from France, Germany and Denmark during the similar period.

The researchers have spent the last 10 years uncovering such Paleolithic art in Britain. More such discoveries are expected. The discoveries do suggest a commonality between the peoples living in Britain and mainland Europe 10,000 years ago, and that perhaps they had some common cultural streaks.

I also appreciate it if you will drop me a line and teach me how to put those "More" links at the bottom of your long posts.
Thanks

I see all of the items, but they're all sat on top of one another.
In need of a little CSS TLC, I think...
I just mailed you all the details regarding the "More" link. Please let me know if you were able to implement it, and feel free to ask me if there are any problems!
Thanks for the comment. The categories listing looks fine at my end (what system/browser do you use?), so I do not know what to do! Please let me know what exactly the error is.. perhaps different browsers display/load the tree differently?
