EH should read them, not try to tell us there are "many conflicting conservation issues" here. When they finally do, they'll see. I doubt if they'll go ahead in the end.
As well as bringing ethical and professional pressure on English Heritage, there should be a way to stop them on legal grounds. They are obviously contravening international agreements with this time capsule nonsense - time for a couple of well drafted letters to the appropriate international bodies methinks.

We have no way of stopping excavations in the future no matter whether we are for or against them. Human nature makes us curious, which is a good thing. Without curiosity we have only ignorance. The intent of English Heritage is for the good of Silbury Hill and its all about ones intentions. I still stand by my beliefs that the Time Capsule is of no harm to Silbury Hill; it will be put in with love and contain objects placed in there by people filled with excitement, enthusiasm and the desire to give something as a gift or a gesture.
I also strongly believe that given half a chance most of you would have loved to be in my position on Friday.Me thinks too many people who feel they should be involved have been overlooked, and as their two penneth isn't wanted, are taking the proverbial hump.
Don't worry I can feel the hate," how dare she"'s, and" who does she think she is" already....................................and it bothers me not!!!!
Happy and proud to be involved

Hi boss.

Forget the letters to 'appropriate international bodies'. Put your money where your mouth is and go and see a lawyer if you believe you have a legal case.
