Features - Dr. Anne Teather - Timber Circles

New in Features - Dr. Anne Teather has written us an introduction to timber circles - often overlooked and in the shadow of their stone cousins, these enigmatic monuments are beginning to to recieve the attention they so richly deserve. . .

The Model Room

The Model Room is where we display our reconstructions. To start off we have a selection of the timber and stone circles of Wessex and Somerset, including Durrington Walls South Circle, Woodhenge, Stanton Drew and the Sanctuary at Avebury.

You can look at the image page of each reconstruction or download the associated .kmz file and download the model into Google Earth, where you can get inside it, and look at it from any angle you choose. More about Google Earth here.

The Map Room

The Map Room is where we keep shelf after shelf of cartographical wonders. So far we have mapped the Iron Age hillforts of Somerset and Wiltshire, the henge monuments, long barrows and prehistoric trackways of Somerset, and the super henges of Wessex.

You can also download the .kmz file associated with any of the maps, which will enable you to swoop, zoom and dart around the locations using Google Earth. You can fly solo, or choose the tour, and sit back and relax. More instructions here.

The News Room

The News Room is run by Kitty (left). She is responsible for perusing hundreds of journals, flyers and websites every day to bring to you all that is noteworthy in the world of archaeology. The emphasis is largely on British archaeology, however Kitty is skilled in a dozen languages, and will report stories of sufficient interest from around the world, should her busy schedule allow.

The Big Screen

Those clever chaps at YouTube are now offering high(ish) resolution video, prompting the opening of the Big Screen.

We've included all the old favourites, and some new additions, like the hillforts of Wiltshire and Somerset, and the prehistoric trackways of the Somerset Levels. Click here or on the image to book your seats. . .

The Radio Room

The Radio Room is crammed full of programmes of an archaeological nature, gathered here for your listening pleasure. The newest addition is Secrets of Stonehenge, a programme introduced by Francis Pryor, focusing on the Stonehenge Riverside Project.

Although the files are in realplayer format you don't need realplayer to listen to them. There is a link you can follow to download a non-intrusive alternative.

The Projector Room

The Projector Room is currently showing a handful of presentations, chief amongst them in terms of sheer delight is Billy and Dec's Bronze Age beer brewing.

If only all experimental archaeology was so intoxicating. . .

Look in over the next few weeks - I'm assured fresh reels will be dispatched in time to allay boredom.
