Dear Mike et al, I investigated these pictures some months ago, when they were first posted. I thought they might make a worthwhile, if speculative, article. The finder, though helpful, was unable to give any sensible information and, although not a sundial expert of any kind, had labelled them as such simply because they looked like that. He had no further research to show from experts in prehistoric flintwork or comparisons with any other finds. I abandoned any idea of publishing these items. Don't believe everything you see on the internet or on TV! Regards, John ----------------------------

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 14 April, 2011, 8:49 Dear Sundial Friends, I have just seen the pictures by the BBC of two 'Portable Sundials' from their 'History of the World' series. I think that these are just two oddly shaped flints; not sundials. What do you think?
