Stonehenge - A New Understanding

This book is the result of a 7-year excavation at the Stonehenge site. Surprisingly, there had been little proper excavation of the Stonehenge site before the Stonehenge Riverside Project. The years of work paid off, bringing us all kinds of new evidence, untouched since ancient days. Sorting through the wealth of unearthed archaeology, author Mike Parker Pearson (the leader of the endeavor) attempts to unravel the mysteries of the Stonehenge site, addressing the lives of the builders, common misconceptions, and Stonehenge's place in the larger Neolithic Era. Features 90 illustrations and a 16 page color insert.
