Angry? Puzzled.

May I quote the start of the Isotope article just published in The
Bulletin.

"In 2012 the University of Leicester, in association with the Richard
III Society and Leicester City Council, undertook to look for the grave
of the last Plantagenet king, Richard III. The Archaeologists had
outlined a plan of excavation which would enable then to work towards
the area of the Friary, the choir area, where Richard's grave was said
to be."

There then follows their intentions of finding the church, buildings
orientation, and choir before starting excavation.

Nowhere in this article is there a mention of the Finding King Richard
project, or of the huge contributions of Philippa Langley, Annette
Carson, or John Ashdown-Hill.

I wonder how the Society magazine could have allowed this airbrushing of
events to be published. Paul

I noticed that Paul. I keep on saying it there would not have been a dig without Philippa, John and Annette. Simples!

Agreed....indeed its puzzling...Eileen

Then again, is it in view of how the University has just accepted an award for "their" discovery of King Richard III, named Research Project of the Year.
Now just remind me please university exactly how did you decide to start this project, and what led you to the car park where King Richard was discovered? Could you perhaps share your insights and research details of this part of "your" plan?
No?
What a surprise.
Reminds me of the ending of Working Girl when Sigourney Weaver is asked how she came across the big idea that brought this huge deal into the company. "Well," she stumbles, "I'd have to look at my notes. I don't recall exactly.." She hopes nobody knows she actually had nothing to do with it.
Was the actual instigator of the Looking For Richard project, who pointed at the car park and said dig here, on hand to receive her award?
What do we think?
