Stonehenge

Stonehenge – Von Menschen und Landschaften Herne, Germany 2021 Due to the great success of the exhibition “Stonehenge – A Hidden Landscape” at Austria’s MAMUZ museum in Mistelbach in 2016 and 2017, Wolfgang Neubauer co-curated another exhibition on the research work of the “Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project” together with the Landesverband Westfalen-Lippe.

The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP) was an international collaboration between the University of Birmingham and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology (LBI ArchPro) and led by Professor Wolfgang Neubauer and Professor Vincent Gaffney (University of Bradford). The project brought together experts in non-invasive geophysical prospection and remote sensing, and specialists in British prehistory and landscape archaeology to carry out one of the most sophisticated single archaeological projects in Europe.

Stonehenge may be one of the best-known archaeological sites on earth, but a team of archaeologists are celebrating the discovery of a major new prehistoric monument only a short distance away from Stonehenge.

Stonehenge – A hidden landscape In 2016 the latest findings of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project were brought to light at the MAMUZ in Mistelbach by the team of researchers from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology (LBI ArchPro) and the University of Birmingham.

Although Stonehenge is the most iconic of all prehistoric monuments, studied by antiquarians and archaeologists over many centuries, much of this landscape effectively remains terra incognita. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project has changed this situation dramatically through one of the world’s largest-ever terrestrial geophysical projects.
