Arrived this morning from WH Smith - excellent service. By coincidence the book opened at page 71 where Fachtna McAvoy gets a mention.

"By the end of July, Fachtna McAvoy and other English Heritage archaeologists based at Fort Cumberland in Portsmouth had photographed, videoed drawn and described the deposits ..."

Good afternoon tjj - a happy coincidence indeed ... and perhaps a harbinger of things to come? I look forward to getting the book from Amazon - perhaps on Monday.

Having been the archaeological manager of the Silbury Project for English Heritage for 7 years I would have hoped to have received a copy a little earlier ie from English Heritage itself, as a matter of common courtesy.

Even after all that has happened I am still slightly surprised and disappointed that none of the managers in English Heritage could bring themselves to do this.
