Well that was a genuinely interesting read! Cheers for this!
And yeah, I've spent a tiny amount of time around that part of Somerset - my parents took me there because they used to live and work in the area (Taunton, Glasto, Bristol). Didn't specifically go there, though!
Palaeolithic Danube sounds damn interesting, though!! I know almost literally nothing about the ancient history of that area, except for with the Roman conquests, that giant bridge they built which is still partly standing, and that tribe which lived in what is now Romania (the Dacians?) that lived up in the mountains, and fought the Roman Empire...
But yeah, don't know much beyond that. Pre-history in that region must be pretty fascinating, I imagine!

Interesting shit.
I'm sure there are some people out there who think Roman = Romani = Romansh = Romania, which would make this all the more confusing. But anyway.
