Archaeology Online – The Stones of Stonehenge: Long-Distance Links with Preseli and Elsewhere with Mike Parker Pearson

In the last two decades research on Stonehenge has revolutionised our understanding of this iconic stone circle and the people who built it. Archaeological excavations and a remarkable range of scientific methods have cast light on many new aspects of when, how and why Stonehenge was built. With the dramatic discovery of Stonehenge’s Altar Stone coming from northern Scotland, in addition to the bluestones’ origin in Preseli, Wales, the monument’s purpose may have been connected with the forging of long-distance links across Britain.

Archaeology Online is a series of talks that is open to all. Talks will take place over Zoom and will explore Archaeology in Cornwall and beyond.

The lecture will begin at 7PM with access from 6:50PM. No registration will be required for this session, though entry is limited to the first 100 attendees. Joining details below:
