"centuries of plowing"

Interesting that the American spelling is being used here. The author appears to be from the UK.

Correct spelling here in the UK version I'm reading - Quote: Because centuries of ploughing destroyed the original floor and hearths, its true purpose remains a mystery

I wonder if they localised the spelling for audiences outside of the UK or if it was one of the many Gruniad spelling mistakes?

For what it's worth, I accessed the article from the UK.
