New discovery in Stonehenge

New studies about a recent dig in Stonehenge have concluded new information about bluestones and their importance in the old civilizations of United Kingdom.

Charred wood and little stones chips have been found in the first excavation in Stonehenge, this place is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments. Professors Tim Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright think these bluestones were used by the human in the past for to cure, because these people belief this stone had healing powers.

Using this stones the investigators believe they can learn more about the prehistory of England and Stonehenge specifically.

The charcoal fragments have been dated between 7000 years BC and the medieval times, but this place has been visited always. The stone were brought 150 miles from south Wales. This information is very important, because it means that these people made a big effort for to have the bluestones in Stonehenge. So, the investigator’s theory is the human did this effort because they believed these stones had healing powers.  

The bluestones are broken, because it’s have been repeatedly moved and rearranged, so the archaeological register is altered.

This new theory is very important for the news studies in archaeology in Britain, and explains the presence of bluestones in the most important archaeological site in U. K.

I have chosen this new, because I like this topic, since I was a child I have read about this theme so now I am happy for to study archaeology. And I think Stonehenge is a place that needs to be more investigated because I think still it have a lot of information for us.
