Description

The Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites World Heritage Site consists of two blocks of Wessex chalkland some 40 km apart. Individually they contain distinctive complexes of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments; together they are one of the most iconic and important prehistoric landscapes in the world. 

This volume builds on the accompanying Resource Assessment to provide for the first time a fully integrated Research Agenda for the whole of the World Heritage Site.

Resulting from discussion across the research community - through meetings, workshops and on-line consultation - the Framework offers a guide that encompasses the widest possible set of views and priorities. It is in every sense a collaborative document, produced by and for the constituency of researchers working in the World Heritage Site.

It does not aim to be prescriptive, or to prioritise particular topics, but rather to offer guidance designed to encourage innovative research of the highest calibre.
