What sort of frequency should this update? I have GE V4beta, and it doesn't appear to have updated for at least 7 days.

Also, looking at the Zip file although it says it is as of 9/10, it is actually the file for 29/09.

Not complaining, just asking.....

Hi Chris.

The ZIP file doesn't automatically update. It's there for people who are running a version 3 (or older) copy of Google Earth.

If you want to get the fancy, automatic updating version, you should download the non-ZIP version (TheModernAntiquarian.kml). This will only work for V4beta users like yourself.

Yes, it looks good - it's just a pity that the unprovenanced sites aren't added, so that anybody using this method to locate them remains in the dark. And that 'not accepted as prehistoric' category is so arbitary. I can identify froth (eg http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3667 ) - and also major sites that are excluded from Google-up Earth (eg http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/7448 ). This last one shows very well at maximum zoom - as an elongated Z angled NW-SE.

Anyone waiting for this person to write an article about the 'missing ones', for Antiquity or similar, should enter a state of suspended animation - for quite a long time ...
