Begun in 1874 and published in 1880, a detailed survey of the
stones of Stonehenge was one of the earliest works of William
Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), the energetic archaeologist
who is remembered as a pioneering Egyptologist. It is reissued here
alongside Sir Richard Colt Hoare's 1829 analysis of the barrows
surrounding Stonehenge, thus giving modern readers a valuable
two-part snapshot of nineteenth-century investigations into this
famous site. Hoare (1758-1838), a Wiltshire baronet with a keen
interest in archaeology and topography, conducted excavations on
the site of the stones in the early 1800s, which were later
referred to by Petrie, whose measurements were much more accurate
(up to one tenth of an inch). Petrie's numbering system for the
stones, as set out in this publication, is still in use today. Many
of his groundbreaking works in Egyptology are also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection.
