Stonehenge Reburial Extension - Update

An application to extend the license granted to the archaeological team that excavated human remains from Stonehenge in 2008 has been received by the Ministry of Justice. The extension application has been lodged by the archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson and, if the license is extended, the human remains will form the focus of a PhD project at Sheffield University until approximately 2015. 

HAD has now formally responded to the Ministry of Justice. Attached please find a copy of the letter sent detailing HAD's position and thoughts on this matter.

Please contact HAD with any thoughts or comments on this issue.
