Stonehenge cover

Stonehenge is an iconic monument for people all around the world. Built around 5000 years ago, it stands for mystery and forgotten secrets waiting to be decoded. In this latest book in the Council for British Archaeology’s ‘Archaeology for All’ series, Professor Mike Parker Pearson presents an up-to-date interpretation of Stonehenge and its landscape. Drawing on his years of research and excavation, the author presents a highly readable account that is lavishly illustrated with images by the renowned photographer Adam Stanford and the reconstruction artist Peter Dunn.

'This is a sound book, and one that is fashionably svelte and pretty.' * Current Archaeology *
Overall the book is a refreshing read (though some may find the lack of an index frustrating), full of new information and ideas, and made possible by the team's readiness to tackle complex questions, and the once in a life-time opportunity they were granted to undertake new excavations. * British Archaeology *
