That is a conclusion based on the assumption that the KRS was

quite possible that it was carved somewhere else.

...and the evidence for that is..... what?

Read http://tinyurl.com/br9qr to find out. 

As I recall the rock itself has been declared to be "local"
(meaning of that area) - IF it was carved at another place, it
requires obtaining the stone from around the area it was found in
- transport it to (wherever) carve it and bring it back again.
Don't you think that sounds totally implausible?


In the context of glacial erratics, 'local' covers a considerable
range. You just need to see the glacial erratics north of Coober
Pedy to understand that.


We are talking local in the context of the KRS, not geological local.
And glacial local covers NA north of c. 40º nl.


If the definition of 'local' is important, would it not be better to
describe what is mean by giving a distance?

Do you mean within 20km, 200km, 2000km or what?

How far can you walk with the KRS?
