Excellent points here, thank you.

And in the 4500 years of flood plain, were there any periods of dry lake bed?

And what is the age of Aries, which I say might explain the ram's horn hairdo or helmet of the first figure to the East of Silbury?

Age of Aries, Wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aries#The_Age_of_Aries_.28The_Arian_Age.29

Heindel-Rosicrucian based interpretation: began in ca. 1658 BC and ended in ca. AD 498

Neil Mann interpretation: began in ca. 2150 BCE and ended in ca. AD 1.
Constellation boundary year:

Shephard Simpson interpretation: began ca. 1875 BC to ca. 100 BC

So the Ram's horn hairdo might fall within the 4500 years you mention, in a time of extended dryness? Or was it entirely flooded, for that entire time?

Just asking!!! PS, you are educating me, and a big thanks.

PS... the hairstyle of the Ram's horns are called, “Horns of Ammon”, related to Amun: The Ram, Aries, was the sacred manifestation of the Egyptian God Amun, and was also worn and associated with Alexander the Great...

“There's a fair bit of mythology attached to the ammonite. St Hilda of Whitby in the middle 600s AD was supposed to have killed all of the snakes in the area by decapitating them with her whip - the ammonites found around the Yorkshire coast were assumed to be the remains. Local craftsmen have carved heads on them to form lucky snakestones for centuries. In 5th Century India, ammonites were regarded as the embodiment of a god, 17th Century Germans considered them a charm against witchcraft, and many North American plains tribes carried them for good luck, too.”
