Rich,
Yes, I was serious. No I don't have any facts, nor do I have the time to
investigate these people. I watched it once, some time ago, and got a very
strong sense that I had been correctly advised (I vagely remember a report
that they had actually fabricated part of an earthwork, though).
YOU have to decide if I'm right or wrong. I've said my piece. You have
been warned...
Now, a smiley...
>it has done a great deal to raise the profile of archaeology in the UK.
There is precious little money available for archaeology in this country as
it is, maybe the presentation of archaeology in this way will raise the
profile of the subject in the future, (e.g. by inspiring more young people
to enter the profession).
Which one? Archaeology or media??
pd
PS Here's a thought,... If the sword was genuine, how did it get there?
Think about it... What's most likely? Who would have access to it?
Agreed: the site was a hoax.
Who would have what motive to go to such lengths?
Mmmmmm...
