Soo ... according to that article. They are digging in the wrong spot because its safer and makes a better TV documentary even though everyone knows there are no Spitfires there? Furthermore the one borehole in the "right" area found what may be a crate at depth but even if it is a spitfire crate its full of water ?

Sounds a right royal stuff up already.

More obfuscation and intended confusion from Mr. Cundall. Crate full of water will take "weeks" to pump out. Wtf?

Serious archeologists with a reputation to maintain have now examined Mr. Cundall's "witness statements" and the other "evidence" he has accumulated in detail and pronounced it Bollox.

How does Duralumin hold up under water?????? I'm not sure it's noted for it's corrosion resistance.

Dunno, but this one seems to have held up quite well;

What is a "conflict archaeologist"? Is it a derogatory term for a specialist who is sceptical of the dig, or is it an archaeologist with particular knowledge of the conflict in Burma?

[RedToo]

Archaeologist specialising in the archaeology of war.

Aha. Thanks, I thought it might be the archaeological equivalent of whiner.
