I agree Odin there have been plenty of stupid ritual theories as well
I know that this is not theoretical but I have always been over awed by that cutting edge hard working unit director Hodder who was able through his examination of petrographic thin section to differentiate the clay sources of roman pottery and produce a much needed distribution network using the streams of the Sussex amongst other successes with the expert examination of thin section. Pity we do not see much more of that much needed work around the country. I have attempted it myself but unfortunately my ocular perception has mostly identified moon dust which due to my insecurity with ritual explanation and a pig headed refusal to give any archaeological credit to Erich von Daniken has forced me to destroy the evidence. In spite of all this I still hold to the dream that Sussex streams were used in the distribution of Roman pottery or clay for making pottery although I do sometimes wonder if there was some moon dust involved.
