For the #Stonehenge area, there is new imagery on Google Earth from August this year showing lots of #archaeology. Pits for missing stones at #Stonehenge plus the barrows just to the SE. Read this thread for more examples ... 1/8

Tim, thank you for bringing this important paper to everyone’s attention, and for such a careful account of what it does and does not show.
It is especially useful to my own landscape-first way of looking at monuments. The strongest point is not simply that the Devil’s Arrows were moved 18 km, but that particular elongated stones were selected from the extraordinary gritstone landscape of Brimham and brought into a lowland ceremonial landscape around the Ure and Swale.
That brings material character, human movement, source-place and monument together without needing to force a single explanation. Your insistence on the limits of the evidence makes the argument stronger. A very useful piece of work.

I had to go back make another one, I wanted to cut the lines with out such big over cuts being such tricky stuff to carve with 65 year old eyes. Its hard to imagine someone sat sat on the Wiltshire plains 4 thousand years ago and carved bone with flint tools to such perfection

I saw the best archaeology I've ever been lucky enough to witness yesterday... 😵
Newton Kyme Henge - whose ditches are almost completely lost. Almost 300m edge-to-edge. Showing up in this heatwave as a perfect ghost from 5000 years ago. Absolute magic.

So that was it until 2013 when Tim Daw & Simon Banton, then Stonehenge staff, noticed marks in the grass. English Heritage published a survey, which I've simplified below (Banton et al 2014, Antiquity). Orange blobs are parchmarks. 5/7

After queries, more on Y/Z Holes & parchmarks at Stonehenge.
Excavations first. In this plan (simplified from Cleal et al 1995) I've marked all excavation trenches (mostly 1920s) in green. Stones are black, Y/Z pits outline. Numbered pits are excavated, others interpolated. 1/7
