A few years ago Mike Pitts wanted to excavate a single stone, as a communal exercise. He spent many months on the application process and evenrtually drowned in the bureaucracy..


If the world of archaeology really want to finish Keiller's work, one day they will have to start excavating. I seem to recall the argument against is to protect the archaeology for posterity. Fair enough.


Well they have just re-erected 7 fallen standing stones at the Stripple Stones henged circle including one that was completely buried and excavated by my little team and others just level with the surface. Not Avebury I know, but just as important down here in Cornwall and the methodology is just the same.
