Chronognostic Research Foundation on their motives for exploring the
Newport Tower. Also:

"With the gracious permission of the Newport City Council, from
October 15 to November 15 we?ll conduct an archaeological
excavation of sites we found in the park during our geophysical
studies of the past three years: possible building foundations and
a rocky area near the Tower. The Tower itself, though completely
visible and beautiful, is mute; we can only hope that its neighbors
underground will be more talkative and tell us their tales from the
past, and the tale of the Tower."

You won't be surprised that I point out that they aren't qualified to
comment on Hu McCulloch's comments on the Radiocarbon dating and Hu
McCulloch isn't qualified either. I'd have been much happier if they'd
entered a caveat about his qualifications.
