Supplemental context
Stonehenge is not one event frozen in stone. English Heritage describes a monument built in stages, with work beginning about five thousand years ago and the stone circle dating to around 2500 BCE. The surrounding Wiltshire landscape contains connected prehistoric places, so the famous stones are only part of the evidence. Their relationship to the sun encourages questions about seasonal gathering and belief, while the site's custodians acknowledge how much remains uncertain about purpose and transport. Future readers can learn from that combination of physical survival and unanswered questions. Preserving archaeological records alongside images would show how interpretations change, and would distinguish what the stones demonstrate from stories later generations project onto them.
Creator/community: Neolithic and Bronze Age communities; later researchers, custodians and visitors Place/era: Wiltshire, England; earthworks around 3000 BCE, principal stone circle around 2500 BCE
