And when technology improves and they wish to re-examine the original (which is what all good researchers should do - go to the primary source, not someone else's synthesis).......what then?

After reading Rhiannons excellent comments I've decided to withdraw my offer.
No smileys just big Yorkshire guffaws.

I can see EVERONE's point(s) on this. Tricky & probably no (full) win situation I reckon. (Not that it makes much difference what any of us think!)
I'd love to see it too, but a replica'd 'do' me, personally - if necessary.
Just to clarify, Fitz, are you suggesting the Gardom's Edge solution? I may be with you on that whole solution, ideally, but do you think it's safe enough with the 'replica' effectively marking where the real thing is? Or is it not really directly above the real thing or summat?
And I'd wanna know about 'natural' degredation, as I haveta say that there's a 'dispassionate' (& mebbe 'soulless') bit of me that sez put it wherever it'll be safest and best preserved and let anyone/everyone see replicas, both in situ and in museums (if they want to exhibit em).

But surely this "who should see it" (this time "it" being all kinds of heritage ie Stonehenge, Silbury, Avebury...) is one of the major concerns of heritage conservation.

Must admit that solution appeals to the 'soul' part of me, not mentioned in me first post down the page a bit....
Kinda like the Fyfield 'Polisher'. Seems to be working so far with that & even tho details have been published somewhere.

I wouldn't have accepted your offer anyway - it smacks of elitism. Oh and I've read your weblog on the Langdales....its not the greatest research, why don't you try using original sources rather than other peoples synthesis?

I apologise to the Board, I didn't mean to get personal, but I felt I should defend myself.

The 'no-win' thing also applies to the decision-making. How could it be properly democratic AND practical? We need to be able to able to trust the decision-makers, whoever they are & however they do it. at the moment there are too many of us who don't.
