• Resumen

  • Stonehenge is one of the most extensively researched monuments in Britain, but until recently little was known about the people who were buried on the site thousands of years ago. This is now beginning to change, thanks to isotopic analyses of some of the cremated human remains interred during the monument’s first phase of construction, around 3000 BC. The project’s findings are shedding light on the movements and burial practices of long vanished – and surprisingly far-flung – communities, as Kathryn Krakowka reports.
