Nash es un gran tipo por lo poco que le conozco. Un apasionado de su profesión.
Sería interesante que por fin el mundo anglosajón descubriera el Calcolítico en su propio patio. Como sabrás ellos suelen llamar "Neolítico tardío" a lo que nosotros llamamos Calcolítico, a pesar de que tiene todas las características proto-civilizacionales del Calcolítico.
