Time Team’s Phil Harding’s Flint Knapping Demonstration

The South Dorset Ridgeway is considered by many experts to be as important as Stonehenge and Avebury for revealing the lives of our ancestors. In recognition of this, the Heritage Lottery Fund has supported an exciting programme of events from now until March 2011.

To celebrate the launch of the new South Dorset Ridgeway Heritage Project, held at Portesham Village Hall on 16th February 2008. Special guests include Time Team's Phil Harding demonstrating the techniques of flint knapping.

More information about the project can be find via the Dorset AONB website http://www.dorsetaonb.org.uk
