Antlers were indeed laid down and left as offerings. In fact some of the Stonehenge ones were hundreds of years old, antiques in prehistory, when they were finally laid to rest.


Indeed. But I think the telling phrase is "laid down". To use a pick end as justification for an unnatural insertion of our era's presence into a prehistoric construct is - in my opinion - wrong. I'm going to leave it at that, chum.

I couldn't agree more. There is nothing I have read or heard that justifies putting anything at all into Silbury, other than chalk.
