A beautifully illustrated account of the history and archaeology of
an iconic feature of the English landscape, as part of the stunning
Landmark Library series. Perched on the chalk uplands of Salisbury
Plain, the megaliths of Stonehenge offer one of the most
recognizable outlines of any ancient structure. Its purpose - place
of worship, sacrificial arena, giant calendar - is unknown, but its
story is one of the most extraordinary of any of the world's
prehistoric monuments. Constructed in several phases over a period
of some 1500 years, beginning c. 3000 BC, Stonehenge's key elements
are its 'bluestones', transported from West Wales by unexplained
means, and sarsen stones quarried from the nearby Marlborough
Downs. Francis Pryor is one of Britain's most distinguished
archaeologists. In Stonehenge, he delivers a rigorous account of
the nature and history of the monument, while also placing the
enigmatic stones in a wider cultural context, exploring how
antiquarians, scholars, writers, artists, 'the heritage industry' -
and even neopagans - have interpreted the site over the centuries.
