could the lines be superimposed to aid academics to read it?


Dunno, it's all guess work 'til we get to see the original. There's another technique for drawing lines (though don't think it applies here) and that's to draw them with an un-inked stylus. The lines are quite visible under raked light but practically disappear under overhead lighting.

The other interesting thing in the Guardian article is the mention that, "There are two earlier images of Stonehenge, one in the British Library and one in the Parker Library in Cambridge..." I wonder what they're like - and does the article actually mean earlier or just early?
