Apologies if this has already been explained, but it's a long thread.....

I personally dislike the idea of leaving a time capsule in Silbury Hill, but is there any problem with it from a strictly archaeological perspective? What's the informed basis for objecting to it?

A laudable opinion!


With the odd exception of those who just want to muddy the waters of course ;)

No, I even have faith in your sincerity ;)

Is it really necessary to post that kind of comment on a public forum? If you have a personal problem with someone, keep it private. Public in-fighting never makes anyone look good.

well i wouldnt use the term sincere beliefs.
ALSO since Avebury was a social backwater until the 1960's , some of the families at the school have lived in the area for millenia, and maybe even helped in the building of Silbury hill. I'm sure they are far more qualified than you to offer an opinion, on what goes on regarding the hill.
Im sorry but i hate bullshit pseudo intellectual tossers, trying to do down what is meant as a local and friendly gesture of love.

What you mean filling it with tyres?

No-one doubts that the TC was a well-meaning gesture, but it was mis-guided, that is the problem.
