Letter calls for archaeologists to take 'rightful' lead on Stonehenge tunnel
HUNDREDS of archaeologists have signed an open letter calling for professionals to unite and reframe the Stonehenge tunnel debate.

No and they should tear up the road that's already there as well.

The problem is the works at the entrances.I would have thought most of the tunnel would be below any archeology unless it's going to be a cut and cover tunnel.

Unless the entrances are going to be right next to the henge (in which case a tunnel would be pointless) then how much archeology is going to be found?

Please read the thread and if you’re able watch the video. tl; dr - lots. The stones themselves are not the issue. The whole area is full of archaeology.Unless the entrances are going to be right next to the henge (in which case a tunnel would be pointless) then how much archeology is going to be found?

I can remember there being a free festival at Stonehenge every year. The stones belong to the people man! Heck some of the graffiti on the stones is historic
Leave it as it is, no to the tunnel.
Nobody is touching the stones

The whole country is full of archaeology. Doesn't every major construction project have to have archeology done like on HS2? Or are we not supposed to do anymore building projects?

I was there for the last free festival, my first festival, I was impressed with the stalls with signs advertising all sorts of goodies - various types of hash, grass, shrooms, acid, and speed, but not coke or smack.
After enjoying some shroom tea, another first for me, from one stall, we ended up buying spliffs rolled in front of you, from another stall, because we were too bollocked to roll our own.
Hawkwing, the Magic Mushroom Band, and others were ace on shrooms and decent hash.
It was fucking crazy, no wonder it was sadly stopped.

Thanks for the reminder, stones fall forward next month....At least they stopped moving them to adjust for daylight saving twice a year.

Then isn't it better to dig the route to better understand it?
Can't see the point in archeology if all you're going to do is ponder what's there.

The landscape around Stonehenge is examined again and again as more about it is discovered and more refinements of techniques are made. And a dig obliterated by building work can’t be re-examined.Then isn't it better to dig the route to better understand it?

From memory the dispute comes down to how much damage will be done to possible artifacts in the ground This seems to me to be a matter of technique and procedure.... Can it be done sensitively?
Getting rid of the road from the immediate landscape seems inarguably a positive. Should allow people better walking access to wider area also

Well hopefully it's not true, because that would be a monumentally (heh) stupid decision.

Bear in mind that the route of the tunnel will be dug over in massive detail before its done, vast numbers of archaeologists get spades in the ground ahead of construction projects and this one will be no different.
Its actually good for the sector as it'll get them paid and its good for us because we get to see whats actually under the ground along the route. Layer by layer. If its done properly at least, which admittedly in this country is far from a given.

No dig unless necessary seems to be the best practice at the moment, especially as more and more non-invasive techs become available. And for such an iconic world-class site and landscape. it shouldn't even be up for discussion.
