The Challenge

Let’s take this challenge right to the other end of the archaeolgical time scale: we’d like you to enter your best image of prehistoric archaeology, from anywhere in the world.

If the subject must be from an era before either the people had writing, or before “civilised” literate travellers wrote about them!

PLEASE REMEMBER All images MUST be accepted into the group before voting begins or we will remove them from the challenge.

Judging / Voting Criteria

I was going to suggest a prize for the oldest piece of archaeology, but then i thought I might win it myself with my handaxes, and that might be embarrassing. So as usual, vote for the best picture, your favourite, or (if you want to) the oldest or even the most obscure. Don’t forget you can vote for more than one image.

Rewards & Prizes

As always, the winner and runners up will get featured for about 5 days, with an extended feature for the winner. If she/he gets their choices to us within 5 days of winning, the winner can also choose their favourite 5 pictures from the group (not the challenge) to be featured alongside their winning image for a further 10 – 11 days. Clear?

Additional Information

If your image is NOT in the group and we don’t spot it, we will not be able to feature it if it is a runner up, and it means that someone else who had bothered to obey the rules misses out on a feature. Which is all very un-neighbourly!
