Here's a real puzzle from the last Update:

"Archaeological work at Silbury Hill was successfully completed on Tueday 13th November."

How can that be, when work is still going on and the removal of the steelwork is bound to cause disruption and reveal fresh surfaces?

Are there not any archaeologists still constantly in there documenting everything?

Assuming that the steelwork is going to be removed...

Would that be one of those H&S or perhaps insurance things? Perhaps it's Skanska only when there's no steel supports maybe?
