«Stonehenge Complete» is Christopher Chippindale's archaeology essay, published by Thames & Hudson in paperback (312 pages, in English).
Christopher Chippindale separates the real Stonehenge from the one imagined by archaeologists, tourists, mystics, astronomers, artists and poets over the centuries. He also explains how recent studies have transformed knowledge of its structures without new excavations, and details its astronomical orientation, linked to the winter solstice.
Third revised and expanded edition, published in 2004 (the original is from 1983). Includes bibliography (pages 291-303) and index.
For those who wish to delve deeper into archaeology, prehistory and megaliths, and into the cultural history of one of England's most celebrated monuments.
Christopher Ralph Chippindale, FSA is a British archaeologist. He worked at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology from 1988 to his retirement in 2013, and was additionally Reader in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge from 2001 to 2013.
