A Skeleton from Stonehenge.
In 1978 the remains of an Early Bronze Age burial were found during the excavation of the ditch surrounding the monument. The remains were of a male, aged between 25 and 30. Unusually, he was found to have several wounds, which appear to have been inflicted by arrows. Three arrowheads were found with the burial, one or more of which were responsible for the fatal wounds inflicted.
This object has been adopted by Andante Travels who have added this additional information: Discovered during excavations by Cardiff University. The young student, Denise Allen, who first exposed the leg bones is now Deputy Director of Andante Travels in Archaeology (Salisbury).
