Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierIn 1965, a farmer dug up the lower jawbone of a mammoth while in the process of expanding his cellar. Further excavations revealed the presence of 4 huts, made up of a total of 149 mammoth bones. These dwellings, dating back some 15,000 years, were determined to have been shelters known to have been constructed by pre-historic man, usually attributed to Cro-Magnon. Also found on the site: a map inscribed onto a bone, presumably showing the area around the settlement remains of a "drum", made of a mammoth skull painted with a pattern of red ochre dots and lines amber ornaments and fossil shells.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalLocated in the charming Piazza Brà, the Roman amphitheatre is the main tourist attraction in Verona, and it is still used today mostly as a musical venue. The most recent study attributes the Arena to the Julio-Claudian era (14-54 AD). The size and complexity of the structure made it an important predecessor in planning the Coliseum, begun in 80 AD. The structure was deliberately situated outside the city walls but within easy reach along all major roads, in order to avoid potential disorders in the crowded city centre. According to tradition, the arena served as the inspiration for Dante's "circles of Inferno"

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe site is situated on a platform/shelf on an otherwise westerly sloping pastoral field. Coflein has recorded the site as dating from the Iron Age. I identified three hut circles within an irregular rectangular enclosure that meets a field boundary wall on its NE side. The sloping ground of this field and the adjacent fields show signs of levelling that may have accommodated further huts. A very interesting settlement site within a landscape abundant in ancient sites. [See our nearby sites list or map from this page for more - MegP Ed]

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn a hill in Marmilla (South Sardinia) lies this monumental megalithic tomb, built with large slabs of limestone marl. Consisting of a corridor about 6 meters long, with slightly protruding walls, on the sides of which there are 12 cells arranged in two superimposed orders, with a quadrangular plan, the tomb has characters of uniqueness.

Pre-ColumbianVelda Mound (8LE44) is a Native American archaeological site located in northern Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. The site was first occupied by peoples of the Fort Walton Culture (a regional variation of the Mississippian culture) in the late prehistoric period and during the protohistoric period was part of the extensive Apalachee Province of the panhandle. The site is now owned by the State of Florida and managed as a park.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis tomb is one of four tombs and barrows, two of which are Scillonian entrance graves. The others are too mutilated to know whether they contained a chamber. The best preserved is this Treen Entrance Grave (SE) which is a mound 25' across and 4'6" high with a 13' long, 3' high and 4' wide chamber on its northern side. The orientation of the chamber marks the midwinter sun over Carn Galva.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn the village of Nughedu Santa Vittoria, Sardinia there are some domus de janas - survivors of a larger necropolis destroyed to build houses over the centuries. One tomb is very interesting as it preserves peculiar architectural and decorative elements, like a pillar with relief decoration, representing a bull's head (according to some scholars an upside-down anthropomorphic figure). On the walls we can see decorative motifs in relief, in the form of panels and a false door, with remains of red paint.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn top of this colossal man-made circular mound, 54.9m in diameter and 12.2m high, is a pair of conjoined mediaeval chapels which , until 1924, were in turn crowned by a pseudo-Gothic house, La Tour d'Auvergne. It contains a single cruciform passage grave, the main chamber of which lies immediately below the summit.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis Clava ring-cairn measures 22m in diameter and the edged kerb of boulders around the perimeter are incomplete but still evident. No standing stones remain. Easter Clune is thought to be one of four Clava Cairns in the vicinity: Golford (no remains), Auldern (three remaining stones) and Moyness, a half complete edge of stones with a single monolith.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTim Daw writes: This is the site that Mike Parker Pearson's team has been, and will continue to, excavate. The three aligned rings appear to be aligned to the Mid Summer Solstitial Sunrise. In recent talks he has outlined that underneath the bronze age ditches there are older ones, and under the banks there are stone sockets. Intriguing, the publication of the results and analysis are eagerly awaited. Could it be the missing bluestone circle?

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis row has amazing views of the Lleyn peninsula. It consists of up to 10 large, small and medium stones, three of which may be natural rocks, and two of which have probably been moved or relocated. Sandy Gerrard has proposed a series of 'Landmark Reveals' in which landscape features disappear and reappear as you move along the alignment. There may be a cupmark on one of the stones.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding Stone in Conwy. This northerly stone is smaller and more angular than its southerly friend. Lichen has turned it a lovely green colour. The adjacent pylon detracts from the ambience. (unless you like pylons!)

Pre-ColumbianTransylvania may have had as many as twelve mounds that formed two plazas, with the largest mound shared by each plaza. Mapping in 2000 identified six remaining mounds. The tallest mound is 10m (34 feet) high, with the others that remain at 5.5m (18 ft), 2.7m (9 ft), 2m (6 1⁄2 ft) and the others less than thisl. 2m mound has a barn on top and was modified for the building. Other mounds are no longer visible because their smaller size may have made them more vulnerable to ploughing. Testing in the 1960s indicated that occupation began about AD 700–1200 (Coles Creek period), and ceramics recovered from the site date to AD 1200–1541 (Plaquemine/Mississippi period). A radiocarbon sample near one of the mounds dates to between AD 1048 and 1411.
