Stonehenge

Overview

Stonehenge is rarely out of the headlines these days, whether as the focus of a new theory about the beliefs of prehistoric people, the subject of exciting new research into the Neolithic past, or the quest for improvements to the local road pattern and visitor infrastructure. Through the presentations to this dayschool we will get behind the headlines and hear directly from those whose work at Stonehenge is changing our understanding the monument and its landscape, and reshaping the way it is presented to the public.

Director of Studies: Professor Tim Darvill and Dr Joshua Pollard
