I think some people would beg to differ.

Dear Robert,

I'm not going to get involved in a pointless exchange with you. This board deserves better than that. Like I said - and which you patently failed to acknowledge in your post:

"I am aware of the deliberate placement of artifacts, but I cannot see that the remains of a pick head - an artefact which has been found countless times in many different excavations - can be seen as a deliberate placement."

"Pieces of antler pick are the next most prevalent artefact to be recovered from Silbury Hill so far. The example on the left exhibits old breaks and as you can see is remarkably well preserved. Antlers were ideal material for the breaking up of the chalk used to construct the mound,and are often found in association with prehistoric ditch structures."

Peace
