"Andrew Graham-Dixon visits the ancient site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, on Winter Solstice. There are more than one hundred Early Bronze Age carvings on the great stones at Stonehenge, most of which have been newly discovered by laser survey. Andrew discovers more about the significance of this carved art and what it tells us about the function of the site." http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/0/21385687 Eh? Laser survey to detect them? How on earth were they carved if you can't even see them? I would have thought they would have become almost invisible through the ageing process down centuries (lichen etc). An refreshing perspective from Andrew Graham-Dixon who is an art historian (I really enjoyed the Culture Show programme on Ice Age Art shown on Saturday BBC2). Food for thought here ... I should imagine most people have seen this Past Horizons link by now: http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/[...]veals-rituals-of-the-neolithic Wasn't the Amesbury Archer thought to be from the same area?
