The Stonehenge Environs Project

A History in Photographs

Stonehenge

Re-examines Stonehenge in the light of current knowledge of the monument and places it in the context of the surrounding landscape. Stonehenge includes the results of fieldwork and analysis carried out in the last decade and includes evidence for the physical, cultural and spiritual setting of the monument. The surviving structures, the stages of development, the ritual and funerary landscapes, evidence for increasing organization as well as evidence of the economy and agriculture of the inhabitants are examined. Recent fieldwork and analysis have revealed traces of the people living in the area that gives a much closer knowledge of the builders and uses of Stonehenge.

English Heritage Book of Stonehenge

"The Vikings have long been popular folk heroes, their exploits shrouded in the myths and legends which celebrate them as intrepid, war-like explores who sailed out into the unknown. We also think of them as the barbarians in horned helmets who ravaged Britain one thousand years ago and then faded away. But what were they really like, and what did they leave behind?" "In Blood of the Vikings, archaeologist Julian Richards peels back the layers of fiction to reveal that the Vikings' contribution to our culture is much more profound and much more interesting."--BOOK JACKET.
