The azimuth for the solstice sunset from the Heel stone is 310 degrees a difference of 6 degrees or 168 metres . The procession seems to longer be the incredibly slow one and not from a central point between the pits heading south , just as well that was also demonstrably wrong never mind being hugely speculative.Geo Curhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616965043116389325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787185370858787658.post-13718876647593200942014-08-18T18:49:37.339+01:002014-08-18T18:49:37.339+01:00Based on the multi-layered dataset, a procedure wa...<i>Based on the multi-layered dataset, a procedure was developed to remove the influence of topsoil metal from the survey data</i><br /><br />Interesting. The multi field versions (for engineering), work by pulsing to induce current in conductive material, and can pinpoint metal data and size quite easily. I still have one of the old single field type in the kit locker that was made about 40 years ago: Still useful for some tasks but not as good as the multi phase one. I suppose that the same multi-phase technology, more or less, was used to remove the data so that the background noise can be concentrated on.<br /><br />It all sounds very impressive the way they describe it. But it's not always quite as reliable as you would think.Jon Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264966739582178631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787185370858787658.post-71606125325560591872014-08-18T17:38:48.487+01:002014-08-18T17:38:48.487+01:00What has happened to the two large pits at the Cur...What has happened to the two large pits at the Cursus found by the Hidden Lanscapes project (also involving the Gaffneys ) and their alignment to the solstice sunrise and sunset and procession nonsense ?Geo Curhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616965043116389325noreply@blogger.com
