BURIAL near STONEHENGE throws light on Bronze Age craftsmanship.

Описание: The remains found in a Bronze Age barrow not far from Stonehenge known as Upton Lovell G2a have long been seen as portraying the main occupant of the burial as a shaman.

But is that really who he was?

It is said that the way you look at something changes the thing you’re looking at and now it seems that a new study of the so-called Upton Lovell shaman tells a much more nuanced and exiting story.
