"Me thinks we had better get back to the Silbury problem as the demo is almost upon us."

True. And although these speculations about similarities with other mounds are interesting, I don't think we should let them divert from the reality that Silbury is a totally unique superstar in terms of sheer size and construction, or from the fact that it's without predecessors, parallels or successors!

But then, I'm a bit biassed!

Yep, I'm more than a little biased as well but it could be that Little Sil is older than Big Sil - in which case Big Sil does have a predecessor and that might make for a whole new way of looking at the Kennet landscape. It's all fascinating stuff... it's also a lot of fun, and as I'm in the area later this week I just can't wait to see for myself a little of what's been discussed here recently.
