The Archaeology of the Stonehenge Visitor Centre
Matt Leivers & Andrew Valdez-Tullett
Description
A series of archaeological investigations were undertaken over 18 years to inform options for the location of new visitor facilities for Stonehenge. Geophysical survey, test pitting, auger surveys, evaluation trenching and fieldwalking took place at sites within and east of the World Heritage Site.
This volume brings together the results of these investigations, designed and undertaken in a piecemeal fashion with the intention of informing design options, rather than being planned to address particular targets of archaeological interest. Carried out separately over a prolonged period, the works were nevertheless not conceived or undertaken in a vacuum. All were underlain by the Stonehenge Conservation and Management Project Environmental Statement and its successors, which defined the methodological and intellectual framework within which the works took place. Consequently, their results contribute significantly to the understanding of human activity in the Stonehenge landscape over several millennia.
