Also in the guardian. Interesting subject, shame about your lack of name check.
Thanks for the link though. A place I'd love to visit one day.

I wonder if Linda has told anybody that someone else discovered these years ago? I was unable to move forward with any reaseach at the time due to access restrictions...being by no means a complete yay sayer regarding the age of the engravings in the caves there.
I’ve just mailed Prof. Ronald Hutton since he appears in the article. Just to keep the record straight.
They’ve timed the publicity well haven’t they? Just as the new seasons about to start..and cave tours begin again.
You must visit..fascinating place.. question what your told.
So...? I’m the initial finder of what could be the largest collection of Ritual Protection Marks in the country? Hilarious!! Ahaha! That’s mad. Just another day..hahahah. Not fair!!
That's messed up that you didn't get credit for discovering this. Unacceptable. Throw your hat in the ring. Write to the parties involved and write an open letter to the journals publishing about this. This isn't simply about you and your pride - it's about the lack of academic integrity of those claiming credit.

I must say, I wouldn't be able to keep quiet about this

Apotropaic marks, often known as 'witches marks', were carved on entrance points to protect the inhabitants from evil spirits
Recently a chance discovery of hundreds of protective marks was made by keen-eyed enthusiasts
