To the Heart of the Matter

Dec 04, 2007, 20:29

However, shouldn't the release of information into the public domain be something that the English Heritage publicity/marketing/press department be handling? And that they've patently failed to do, hence the complaints and moans here - because despite any protestations to the contrary, it's become apparent that *someone* from EH is reading (or has been fed information from) TMA forums.

Precisely. We and others objected to a 21st century time capsule in Silbury and eventually that folly was quietly shelved by English Heritage - no explanation for the U-turn, just a passing reference in one of their infrequent and totally inadequate 'updates'. I think that speaks volumes of the sort of institutional protectionism we're dealing with here. We ask for the removal of the Atkinson/BBC door and lintel and what do we get? Zilch from English Heritage, just unsubstantiated rumours from private individuals. Now we hear of a tooth being found in the structure - a find not reported by English Heritage but mentioned by a private individual on a private website!*

If a tooth has been found at a, ".. highly significant position within the hill." this is possibly a very, very important find indeed. Why has English Heritage not said anything about it?
