"I do not profess to have perfected an art but to have commenced one..." (Henry Fox Talbot, 1839)
At his home, Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, Fox Talbot had to overcome many difficulties before he achieved his first photographs.
In 1924 the first of a long series of astounding archaeological finds was made by a young farmer in a little hamlet near Vichy in France. By the 30s the suspicion of most archaeologists had hardened into the certainty that Glozel was the scene of a colossal fraud: the finds were all modern fakes. In 1974 two physicists ran tests on a few objects from the site, using a new method for dating pottery by means of glow measurements on heated samples. They amazed the archaeologists by coming up with ages of about two and a half thousand years. Since then, as tonight's Chronicle reports, the physicists and archaeologists have been uneasily ranged against each other in controversy.
