[Stones] Under the Hills

Yes, you're right - hadn't noticed that (the resemblance to Ted Hughes).

Was just going to ask Paul (Huckfield), or anyone really, about the three skeletons mentioned in the poem that you posted recently. I seem to remember seeing something on TV about two male skeletons lying either side of a female skeleton, as mentioned in the poem, but can't find anything on the internet. Anyone have any more info or links to the discovery?


Under the Hills Near the Morava River 

She lay there midst
Mammoth, reindeer, and wolf bones;
Diadem of fox teeth round her brow

Ochen under her hips
26,640 plus or minus 110 years before "now".
Burnt reindeer pelvis bone bits
in her mouth,
Bones of two men lying by her side,
one each side.
