About this title

Synopsis

It is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world, but much about the origins of the Stonehenge landscape remains a mystery. Stunning new information about the Stonehenge landscape, especially in the third Millennium BC, has been uncovered by a number of university research teams in the twenty-first century.

About the Author

David Jacques has been the Project Director of Blick Mead, an internationally significant Mesolithic archaeological site, c. 2km from Stonehenge since 2005. Along with a number of leading specialists and community volunteers this team has discovered the oldest occupation site in the Stonehenge area and the place where the communities who built the first monuments at Stonehenge lived. These discoveries have contributed significantly to a new understanding of the initial settlement patterns and practices in the Stonehenge landscape.

The Blick Mead Project is the winner of 'Research Project of the Year 2018' by Current Archaeology Magazine, and has been extensively reported in the national and international media.
