Harley Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I was involved in the excavation and appear in several of the photos. i have over 30 years working in the construction sector on some extremely deep excavations . At no point was any one put in danger. The excavation was monitored at all times from the surface and every precaution in place. Common sense is a major player too. The photos and angles they are taken can give a misleading impression and be misleading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I still think the state of preservation is really great, it could almost be left as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
