Uh....when was the Amesbury Archer discovered? He was originally discovered about 4000 years ago, some time prior to when they buried him.... ;-)

No Stonhenge thread can be complete without at least one of these:

Seriously tho...I'm reading some stuff off google...but all I get are days and months...what year was the discovery made....I'm tired hungry and cranky..I don't want to search anymore...somebody just tell me.
I'm working wierd hours right now...my circadian rhythyms are off. I know it's still light out...but I got to get some sleep.

Other than him being alive, rich, and in the neighborhood during the 1500 or so years that Stonehenge was being built, how have they linked him with Stonehenge?

>>I'm tired hungry and cranky..I don't want to search anymore...somebody just tell me.<<
May, 2002, according to a website link posted upstream on the thread.

>>The Archer will be put on display in the British Museum from November 2003 to February 2004.<<
Looks like a reason to plan a trip to England.
Hope you get something to eat and take a nap. :)

If I ever get to England it will be a must see. Calculate the drive time from wherever you are in England, and add 20 minutes. Stonehenge is very underwhelming in person, err, stone.

I don't see any direct links, other than, as you say, he lived in the neighborhood while Stonehenge was being built.
To: cdefreese
By his being dead and buried in the neighborhood?

I'm surprised present-day Druids didn't claim him as some sacrificial lamb their predecessors captured from

Former_Lurker isn't here anymore, so I'll say it. No human being could have stomped those crops like that.

Stonehenge is very underwhelming in person, err, stone.Take in Salisbury Cathedral while you're there and it's not a bad double.
All those ground up aspect photos do look better than the view from behind the rope line.

how have they linked him with Stonehenge? With great leaps of faith? I have the same question. Anyone who's been to that area knows that Woodhenge, Avebury and lots of other ancient stuff is concentrated in that region. Besides, the most recent dating for Stonehenge's construction (from a book I bought at the souvenir shop there) sets it around 3200 B.C. -- about 1200 years before the archer showed up).

"Different ratios of oxygen isotopes form on teeth in different parts of the world and the ratio found on these teeth prove they were from somebody from the Alps region," said Tony Trueman from Wessex Archaeology A radiometric dating ping.
