Please try to remember I am also an archaeologist but strongly favour reburial in a way that would mirror the wishes of the prehistoric tribal people of Avebury. Just look at these graves ? look at the archaeology ? they were final statements of commemoration and should be respected as so. Excavation without consideration is not too much to ask surely?
at last something worth debating... the nature of our work and the responsibilities it covers.. as dirty dave has posted. strip away our present day beliefs.. and consider those of the past... even if it is as simple as why we have a right to move burials.... or the concept of reburial.. (no ceremonies please)
