xiii, 282 p. : ill.; 23 cm.

Summary

Of all the monuments left by the past, Stonehenge is the most evocative, the most memorable and the most mysterious. Whilst the monuments of other cultures have gradually surrendered their mysteries, Stonehenge alone seems to stimulate endless conjecture. Castledan presents the findings of modern archaeology in a language and style easily accessible to the non-specialist, and writes from detailed and personal knowledge of the most recent research in the field. Sane, confident and readable, his account gives us new insights into a brilliant phase of achievement in Britain's prehistory, as well as coherent and convincing interpretation of Stonehenge's cultural context, history, purpose and symbolic meaning.
