So (correct me if I’m wrong) some excavation/re-erection (think there are a few stones that could be re-erected without much if any excavation by the way) is OK with most of us.
Trouble is, as with other threads, we discuss issues and then do little or nothing to implement what we think should be implemented...
Problem is LS what can people do ? how many people post here now? ten, maybe twelve ? what impact can us regular Joe's have, very little in reality, imo. I'd be up for giving it a go but i don't know the ins and outs, and people here are so fragmented now any process would quickly fall down anyway, again imo. So where next. ?
Presumably any approach could be made under the Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC). Excavation can be applied for by anyone I am informed but usually requires a full project design, justification for the works and experience before considering granting SMC. We would need a 'name' archaeo on board I guess.
Well that's clearly not my department, i'm lost with a pen, my "skills" centre around landscaping, and you can't write with a shovel. :)
Not long ago Mike Pitts, who himself stated opposition to wholesale restoration that would turn prehistoric Avebury into a 21st century construct, presented a case for the raising of a single small horizontal stone that remained above ground that had featured upright in a Stukeley drawing. This project was comprehensively and carefully researched, which as Rhiannon correctly pointed out is a stated requirement for any such application, it also had the encouraging support of a village meeting on a show of hands and had been received with great interest when presented to peers - it was refused consent despite being fully funded. Ultimately then, if a widely respected archaeologist fails to get permission who has funding knows all the players & presents a thoroughly researched case to restore a single stone the historic position of which is accepted, then half a dozen restoration enthusiasts on tma ...
If by popular consent and with funds available and was looked upon favourably then it is a disgrace that it was refused.
A disgrace maybe, but a surprise ?
The red tape, planning etc would be a nightmare and take an age, it is a WHS and has the baggage that comes with that tag.
Mike knows his way round this stuff, he was a curator of the AK, he has excavated in the WHS, he is published.
Then he'd be "the man" to initially contact i'd guess.
Personally i can't see anything happening, though i'd back it if the ball started rolling.
There is a dig this year - visit and talk to the diggers!
