Dr Christopher Norman - Your were a valued fiend, colleague and held so much knowledge and understanding about Prehistoric Somerset. An inspiration to a young archaeologist, new to the area. Often we'd chat for hours over trivial matters, the date, shape and use of microliths, or enthuse over our imaginings of what the Levels were like 7,000-5,000 BC. I had boxes of stone tools and waste, from the Burtle Beds, the Polden Hills and Mendip. With your kind help and encouragement, you heard my arguments and frustrations - you and my family kept me committed to finishing the PhD! Thank you and with a deep respect and gratitude. My sincere condolences to Andrew and his young family in Taunton.

RIP Chris - may you carry on your search of the beautiful Vale of Avalon.
