Overview
What you will learn
As a result of the Moonlight on Stonehenge and other stone circles course offered by University of Cambridge , within the constraints of the time available, you should be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding how the movement of people and ideas in the above areas contributed to the establishment of their later renowned ceremonial character
- understand that how certain landscape contexts contributed to the selection of long term ‘special’ places that led to the establishment and adaption of stone circle monuments
- appreciate the importance of multi proxy dating, pollen and animal DNA evidence and other artefactual evidence for understanding what went on in such monuments: what was different about them and what were potential common denominators in their design, use and symbolism
