Stonehenge

Stonehenge, the mysterious ring of ancient monoliths from the d a w n of Britain’s proud civilization, could be the work of a central European immigrant, archaeologists said not long ago in a shock statement. An early Bronze Age archer, whose grave was discovered near the stone circles last year, m a y have helped build the monument. 46 . Or he might have brought up in a region neighboring Switzerland, such as southern Germany or western Austria.

The archer “would have been a very important person in the Stonehenge area,” said A ndr e w Fitzpatrick,Wessex Archaeology’s project manager, “It is fascinating to think that someone from abroad could have played an important part in the construction of Britain’s most famous archaeological site.”

The 4000-year-old m a n was identified as an archer because of the flint arrowheads found by his body, along with other artifacts belonging to the Beaker Culture in the Alps during the Bronze Age. 47 . Though it could be coincidence that the m a n lived close to Stonehenge at about the time the great stones were put in place, archaeologists suspect that he was involved in constructing the monument. The archer, dubbed “ The king of Stonehenge” by the British press, lived around 2300 B.C., about the time the great stone circle was formed in Amesbury, 120 kilometers southwest of London.

The splendid artifacts found in his grave indicated he was a m a n of wealth, leading archaeologists to speculate he was an important dignitary involved in the monument’s creation. Stonehenge was built about the time the rich Beaker Culture came to Britain. 48 .

49 . H e was strongly built but suffered an accident a few years before his death that severed his left knee caps. Truman said the cause of death was not known, but it could have been a bone infection caused by his leg injury.

Archaeologists also found the grave of a younger man, aged 20 to 25, nearby.

50 .This indicated they were related and were possibly father and son. Tests on the younger m a n ’s tooth enamel showed that he grew up in Britain. The archaeologists thus speculated the archer lived in Britain for many years and had a family, and was not just passing through.

A. A n d tests on the chemical components of his tooth enamel showed he grew up in the region that is now known as Switzerland.

B. H e and the archer shared an unusual bone structure in their feet.

C. Stonehenge will remain mysterious for m a n y centuries to come.

D. The artifacts found in his rich grave discovered about 5 kilometers from Stonehenge indicated he was obviously a very prominent man.

E. The archer was between 35 and 45 years old w h e n he died.

F. A n d people of that time would have been able to communicate in early Celtic tongues.
