Consider the images of the skeletons... do they look like they have been open to the elements for 2 months? No neither did I! Then note the leaves... if this was done in December and open for 2 months, then how did these leaves get in? Plus, lets not forget what a winter we had... or was this area untouched? The herris Fence and tarp over the grave is just eh sort of thing I would do during excavation ( if it went over a couple of days ) planks as well I used on a horse burial last November. So it look like a normal excavation site that has been left at the end of a days work.

Reg and Bee Holles-Perkes ( lets see how they heard about it) : Ah, when they had Tree surgery carried out on their property... so the person was high up and looking into a property that belonged to a developer. So how did the photographs get taken then? Did Reg trespass on someone else's private property and take images of skeletons ? Hmmm... Why is one tarp pulled back.... not blown back, but definately pulled back, you can see where a hand has held it and dragged it over the fence to expose the skeletons.

Now lets consider the story more... a developer gets in an archaeological company to carry out works from a condition placed on a planning application for houses... the next door neighbour objects... Lets see... ah.... Reg and Bee Holles-Perkes They like their property without a new development next door. Do you see where I am going...

If you want to know if Reg and Bee Holles-Perkes did object... guess what!

Think about the whole story... use you archaeological abilities to question and the whole thing falls apart.

A shame on them for using archaeologists as the scapegoats in their own personal battle. !

Quote:It is a general recommendation that human remains are not removed if discovered
during an archaeological evaluation of a site. In this case, the potential scientific
value of remains is not seen as outweighing the importance of retaining an ethical
approach to the disturbance of human remains laid to rest. However, evaluations may
be carried out in a variety of contexts. The decision to remove human remains from an
evaluation trench should be made according to the particular circumstances of the
archaeological evaluation and the nature of the human remains.
