Fascinating discussion between the 'new boy on the block' and the historian. Can this be a new relationship between art and prehistory?


"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."

Is this stone laser surveying going on elsewhere with equally good results do you know Moss?



I would think so but all this laser work, especially in landscape is very new, but will have a look for you (sometime) ;). My initial response was ...is this art? it looks more like 'tally' marks, a rejoicing several hundred years later at the technology of bronze or maybe visiting chieftains making their mark as they traded axes....
