(2011-02-15) | This old illustration shows how Atkinson interpreted Silbury, the recent excavation 2007-8 has shown a very different picture. Details in 'The Story of Silbury Hill by Jim Leary and David Field. For a quick reference, this article in Britarch written by them gives a precis of their interpretation of its construction. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba116/feat4.shtml |
