Around 2500 to 2000 BCE, people learned to train horses to wheel vehicles. However, boats were already exsited even before this period. Neolithic people probably lived crowdedly in a vulnerable wooden house with their parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles.

    Stonehenge is a stone monument that has evolved over a period of 10,000 years and is located north of the modern- day city of Salisbury, England. It was built around 1700 B.C., but the structure forms a small part of a larger, sacred landscape. The mystery of how these stones were carried such long distances and the date this site was built are still being questioned. I chose this site because I wanted to be more familiar with it and the phenomenon that surrounds Stonehenge intrigues me. There is also a vast amount of research that has been done to try to uncover its creators and its purpose, which I found to be very helpful.…

    The team’s 4 years of survey has been very fruitful and uncovered 15 possible Neolithic monuments, gaps in the ditch that might have been used as channels to guide people through the cursus, and a very large pit in the eastern end of the ditch which is likely to have a ritual meaning rather than any practical use. However, probably the most interesting aspect of this study is that all the data was collected by surface survey, without the destruction of the feautres that are under the ground. In short, as Gaffney explains to Caesar, the study has revealed lots of fascinating data and possible answers to questions about Stonehenge by transforming our imagination of the monuments as impressive blocks of bluestones standing solitary in the endless, open landscape of Salisbury Plain to be an active part of a much more complex system on a landscape that shows suprising differences in every…
