The grave is obviously that of one of my forefathers and I want the remains put back exactly where they were found, together with all his possessions, and the whole area declared a holy site.

These latecomers, Romans, Danes, Saxons and Normans have got to learn to respect aboriginals.

Probably killed at a football match.

Looks somewhat like an article posted yesterday.

Good one, Clive! LOL!

Interesting!

Wait until we sue for repatriations for land seized afer the first Civil War in 1776.

Since the date of arrival of the Celts in the British Isles is very much open to dispute, and could have been either before or after the date of this grave, it would be very interesting to know whether or not the grave is Celtic.

Found near Stonehenge? Was he a Wiccan?

How old does a grave have to be in order for digging it up is considered archeology instead of grave robbing?

I hate to say this Clive but if you knew how silly you sound claiming relations to a 4000 year old skeleton, i would have to say you haven't progress very far up the evolutionary ladder!

Hey newbie, learn to recognize mockery when it slaps you in the face.

[donmeaker]

How old does a grave have to be for it to be considered archeology? I know that the Titanic visits were considered archeology. The "unknown soldier" from vietnam is known, or could be from DNA. I wonder what the rules are..... good point....

[ruoflaw]

There are Prehistoric burials and historic burials and they do both.

I didn't know I had to have tenure here to use a little ironic humor.

[metesky]

Didn't know you were being humorous. Duh!

I've been wrong before and I've been slapped before.

;O)

[ruoflaw]

I recognized your ironic humor right away...I bet you are Irish!

[GeorgeHL]

SOK! No offense meant and none taken! We don't want to get like the laughless liberals and lose our sense of humor!

[GeorgeHL]

faith and begorrah! where did you ever get that idea.ping

I took a class a couple of quarters ago, intro to Archaeology.

Very interesting, got a B+ in the class...

What I did realize, was that I want to be cremated when I finally kack.

I don't want to be dug up, my skull put on a shelf in some laboratory for study at a later date...
