Select a forum:
the Atkinson quote comes from an interview with american journalist Alexander Kendricks who asked Atkinson
"Who built Stonehenge professor?"
Atkinson replied
"You have to remember these people are what I would call howling barbarians, they were practically savages."


That being the case the remark shows Atkinson to be unprofessional, biased and bigoted - that's bad, but the real issue is why he should have felt that way and what affect those facets of his personality had on his study of Stonehenge and Avebury?
