Our pastor knew, liked, and respected both of those men; and did some field work with both.

That is too bad. I traded a couple of letters with him, and he was always gracious and informative.

Barraclough also investigated Mystery Hill (as it was called at one time), a few years before I visited it, and the carved image he’d identified inside the structure was already protected with plastic (this was, hmm, late 1970s? early 1980s?).
