[quote="StoneGloves"]Yes, I attack Goldsworthy at every opportunity. He was earning thousands altering sheepfolds in Cumbria as I was starving restoring sheepfolds in Northumberland. But it is relevent because that group of artists - lumped together by Renfrew - are attempting the same feats that the original megalith builders were. Aesthetic beauty in a landscape, broadly. /quote]

Hardly Goldsworthy's fault that you were starving , although that might explain the attitude .
Renfrew's point was that the thinking of an enquiring archaeologist is similar to that of a viewer of much of modern sculpture , they are asking the same questions of the site or monument or sculpture .
