| In the last week I have come across two examples of time capsules being buried within archaeological sites. One is yet to be buried at Kings Barrow Ridge near Stonehenge in 2008, a company is selling this 'innovative' idea as a marvellous way of allowing us the 'general unknown/unwashed public' to leave our mark to posterity in an Etime capsule, apparently with the consent of the National Trust- as if there is'nt enough media evidence around of our modern society already. http://www.salisburyjournal.co[...]ges_stand_the_test_of_time.php Children from a local school in Wales have also left their poetry (on stone) in a neolithic quarry on Mynydd Rhiw which has recently been excavated.. Why???? Then we come to Silbury, here we are spending thousands to restore it to its former glory and fill in all the tunnels and close it permanently, but oh don't forget the time capsule of 2007 of course... So what is it with leaving bits of our personal history littering archaeological sites, I truly don't understand, they hardly did it in the past, are our national guardians, both EH and National Trust, giving into the huggy-touchy feelings of our present society?
