Stonehenge is arguably the greatest prehistoric monument in western
Europe; as a World Heritage Site it ranks in significance with such
sites as the Acropolis of Athens, the Pyramids of Giza, Great
Zimbabwe and Machu Picchu. Stonehenge sits at the heart of a
landscape rich in other monuments and remains of the Neolithic
period and Bronze Age that are also part of the World Heritage
Site. Recent research by English Heritage's landscape
archaeologists within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site has led to
the identification of previously unknown sites and, perhaps even
more importantly, the re-interpretation of known sites, including
Stonehenge itself. This work has been carried out alongside recent
and on-going independent research initiatives conducted by a number
of academic institutions, involving international co-operation.
This book presents the most significant findings of the English
Heritage research and shows how it integrates with the results of
work undertaken by colleagues in other research bodies. It traces
human influence on the landscape from prehistoric times to the very
recent past and presents an up-to-date synthesis of the results of
recent fieldwork. It will be of value to anyone interested in
Stonehenge itself, in megalithic monuments, in the Neolithic period
and Bronze Age of Europe and in the historic evolution of chalkland
landscapes.
