As Silbury's guardians and repairers, they should. But it seems not, else putting it in there hoping it was a waste of time would appear to be just a tad insane. What a self-condemnatory message to be giving out. They seem to be writing their own death warrant with this nonsense. They are actively encouraging someone to dig into Silbury again. Not in an area that is stable, but one that has already been screwed with, messed up and left in a terrible state, and has needed emergency surgery to put it right. Combined with this they are taking this opportunity to excavate and record inside, making any further excavations unnecessary. So all they seem to be doing is creating a scenario whereby someone with no archaeological interest can apply to dig up something that they know the contents of already because they sell it on DVD in the local shop, but an archaeologist cannot! Time Capsule? Timb Bomb is more apt! Reply | with quote |  16th August 2007ce 09:43 In reply to: Re: Absurdity of time capsules (nigelswift) |
