Grave of Stonehenge Builder Found
A 4,000-year-old grave found near Stonehenge is one of the richest early Bronze Age sites ever discovered in Europe. “It’s a fantastically important discovery both for the number of artifacts found in that grave and the range of artifacts. It’s absolutely unique,” says Gillian Varndell, a curator of the British Museum’s prehistory department.
