Updates????

well if you read the updates you'll know that EH left the site on 14th Nov.
From here on it is an engineering/conservation project to remove ALL foreign material and backfill with chalk.
What is there to say in an update?
"We took another metal support out today and filled the void with chalk" X80
On a photography forum I have been on for years there is quite a lot of decent discussion about Silbury with none of the bickering found on this one. (lots of photos too)
No one here seems to have noticed that a Tooth was found on the last day of excavations, elsewhere this is being discussed with interest.
Is it from King Zil or from a miner from the 1960's or is it just an animals....
No doubt EH will release details when it has been analysed properly.

Pete,
Not everyone is bickering. I for one am just interested in the whole thing. It's a shame that some of the discussions have got personal, but I guess that's simply because people feel strongly about the subjects in question. And to me at least, some of the discussions have been interesting and informative.
I had noticed the tooth thing too - presumably at this stage no-one can say if the gnasher is important or not. Anyone for ritual dentistry?!

Let's just say 'one's expectations are reduced' - but we keep on posting ...
I've this one for Rhubarb and Custard (and that makes me Prunes) - The Rotherwas Ribbon ( http://rotherwasribbon.com/ ). I think they're hoping to build a road over or across it (which is both diabolical - not literally - and an order of magnitude less than what's happening at Silbury).
I do believe that the correctest response, to the hill, is to gaze on it from a distance but I don't want to be dogmatic. Can anyone find a link to a picture of the Palm Sunday Processions, of the past, on this or another hill? Thanks.
Diseased ash trees used to be felled - twenty years ago - but now are cut back, 'houked out', given a feed and left to resprout. The rotten bits are habitat for mucho!

if its human and not recent then it will be very important.
The only Human remains found in the primary mound.
An animals tooth is also interesting.

Yeah, but I bet they know little of it's history and of EH's history of neglect and mishandling of the situation, just that "it looks nice in a certain light". ;o)
And I bet they bicker about other things. Like the size of a lens, or the right filter to use. It's all relative.

We'll see. Be nice to hear something.

Well, unless I'm missing something Jim, poor Suzy Lamplugh vanished in 1986 - way after the Atkinson/BBC tunnel was 'sealed'. The tooth (if indeed there is a tooth) can only be either Neolithic or one that once belonged to a tunneller.
