Are you kidding?
Have you been into to the AK museum to view the Atkinson records (Empty boxes)?
To quote Whittle in his Silbury book
"These finds have since been lost"
Atkinson seems to have lost an awful lot of records, or should that be an awful lot of Atkinson's records seem to have been lost?
Allegedly whatever was at the centre of Silbury Hill when he excavated was documented but no written record or actual finds are available and he's accused here of deliberately obfuscating his discoveries on the purpose of Stonehenge.

"We can hazard an informed guess about the builders of Stonehenge, but we know a great deal about people such as Atkinson. Once we begin to meticulously examine the evidence, once we pay attention to the “vast importance of little distinctions”, once we eliminate the impossible and once we begin to get the faintest idea about the true nature of Stonehenge, then it becomes blindingly obvious why a supposedly eminent archaeologist such as Atkinson behaved toward it in the scandalous and immoral way that he did.
