There is a huge difference between broken bits that were left where they fell, and deliberately placed items. Pottery falls into the same category - left or discarded?

Silbury was at one time a huge building site, and one would expect to find discarded lumps and broken tips everywhere - to make any parallels between a broken antler tip and a deliberately-placed 21stC item is like comparing George Best's right boot with Wayne Rooney.

....ahhh really, thanks for that. So any items left in Silbury don't matter and it is the monument as a whole that is important.
