[quote="jonmor"]Bloody hell George: K15. How could you possibly guess that?

Dowsing . (gets coat)

I have no idea what qualifies as a reasonable evidence set for this purpose so don't know how it'll be seen:

That's what is of interest ,a clue to what the evidence might be .


K13 is absolutely fine, but a bit messy; almost as if someone wanted to bring everything they thought important into one, but didn't properly plan out how they were going to do that.

That is also of interest , what is the criteria that considers it messy ? , why assume what was important for the engraver(s) ? ,why assume that the engravings are representations of important concepts to the engraver and some might include more concepts than others ? why assume the engraving was pre-planned ?
Sorry lots of Q's , but hoping to get to the basis of it .

Results of a big geofizz exercise at Arbor Low and Gib Hill have just been published. Since that's about the most intensively dowsed area there is it'll be interesting to see if there's any equivalence.

I'll write it up if they show interest George. But to make it understandable, I will need to draw up images showing what the state of play is. Without understanding the perceived problem that might lead to a treat to the community, it would be really difficult to explain how the arrangement resolves the problem: It uses pretty elegant lateral thinking.

Evidence wise, it's a bit like Stonehenge in that it matches the requirements. But in addition, the philosophy, the issues and the method of resolving it seem to be represented. To explain it first requires some extra images which allow the reader to take on a view of the world that he/she isn't familiar with.

Re-reading that, it's as clear as mud. Needs a lot of work.
