Hi scousemaiden,

I will always be of the opinion that a time capsule belongs in Silbury Hill. Who are we to say that the artifacts we are finding/have found were not purposely left by our Neolithic ancestors as their own time capsule.
Hmm.. bits of broken antler and such left in a disparate manner? I thinketh not. Sorry.

At the time Silbury was built "time capsules" as we know them weren't readily available.
...which is all the more reason not to inflict our societical paradigms on Silbury. It should be left alone. As was; as is. As Joey Ramone said: I'm against it.

Peace

I thinketh that the deposition of artefacts (some deliberately broken prior to the act) at prehistoric monuments has been established as fact by archaeologists. But hell - what do they know!

Sorry.
