Multi-periodHetty Pegler's Tump had a close neighbour, also originally from the Neolithic, with quite the narrative arc which sadly ended around 1200 years ago. You will find no standing temple, no ancient walls and almost nothing to suggest that this quiet field on the southern side of the modern road towards Uley was once an important spiritual centre.

Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierFrom all the rock art sites in celebrated Maros-Pangkep karst area, Leang Sumpang Bita holds probably the most spectacular rock painting you can visit by driving to the site, and is pretty amazing decorated cave in it's own right. There are numerous animal paintings (including a huge, over-a-meter-across representation of a deer and several smaller wild pig images), hand stencils and a very interesting representation of a boat. The paintings are of very high quality and very well preserved. Image submitted by Kuba

Multi-periodAn ancient Greek settlement in Turkey that dates from at least the 6th century BCE. An historic road to the ancient city of Neonteikhos in the Aegean province of İzmir, which intersects with a motorway, was removed during the construction of an overpass bridge that was built for its protection, and now the removed stones have been reassembled, like putting a jigsaw puzzle back together.

Other ArchaeologyA small hillfort located on a promontory overlooking the beautiful Tawharanui beaches. The site is a defensive redoubt that would have had palisades as well as the ditch and would have been a place to retreat to in the face of attacks. The peninsula stretches eastward into the Hauraki Gulf and was on the main trade and war party sea route between Northland and Auckland. Image submitted by DrewParsons

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA Middle Neolithic hilltop camp at Cap Blanc-Nez, where France comes closest to England, excavated in 2010-2011 by INRAP. The site produced more than 1,500 kg of worked flint, 200 kg of animal bone, human remains, and several thousand litres of marine shells from a ditch dating to c. 4200-3800 BCE. The scale of the assemblage points to sustained, intensive occupation of this chalk headland overlooking the Channel. Image submitted by Anne T

DiscoveriesDue to over zealous guarding by our security system the following pages were rejecting photos when someone tried to upload one. I have now fixed the problem so now all we need is some photos - can you help! Fortunately the problem only affected a couple of dozen sites that are completely without photos. Please have a peruse of the list on our page and see if you can add a photo of any of these site - many thanks. Image submitted by Alta-Falisa

Pre-ContactAn archaeological site of rare depth on the north bank of the Little Southwest Miramichi River, at an oxbow bend within the reserve land of the Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation, across the river from the present community. The annual flooding of the river bank has laid down sediment over the site year on year, so that three thousand years of Mi'kmaq occupation, from about 1000 BCE to the present, are preserved in cleanly separated layers up to two metres deep. This deep stratigraphy is virtually unique in Canada, and it lets the development of the community be read directly through time. Image submitted by Anne T

Neolithic and Bronze AgeMore than 100m long and 2.4m high, this is one of Britain's biggest chambered long barrows, and the 10m long interior chambers are open for viewing. Excavations in 1859 and 1955-56 found 46 burials of all ages. The tomb may have been in use for 1000 years - incredible. Image submitted by Bladup

Events Lots of entries came in, so thanks to everyone who took the trouble. History Press very kindly let us have three copies of Steve Marshall's Exploring Avebury: The Essential Guide to give away. Picking the winners was tricky, not because the entries were samey but the exact opposite - they weren't. Image submitted by johnstone
