Looking for pic of Stonehenge area monuments

[CShark]

For the past month or so, I have been delving into the incredibly fascinating world of Wiltshire, and specifically, the Stonehenge region. From my reading, I learned that there are a great number of finds, prehistoric trackways, barrows, even villages in this area. Would anyone have a decent sized jpg/gif of a geophys map I can study/drool over ? I have found a tiny, fuzzy pic (I'll post the link when I get home), but nothing useable.

Alternatively, a good map of the monuments, trackways, pits, henges, etc. would be wonderful. Reading about all this is fascinating, but as they say, a picture is worth...

Thanks muchly

Go to google.com and select "images."

Then put "Stonehenge Map" in quotation marks in the search box. I did it and came up with over 100 varied maps.

From there you can take your pick.

Here's the few links related to Stonehenge & area I had in my bookmarks. I recall there was a map or two somewhere in these.

Not trying to be too sarcastic, but geez...I never thought of that!!
There are no maps found this way that show the geophys or even the locations of monuments in the SH area. Some display a few of the more well-known ones, the Cursus, West Kennet, etc. but as I mentioned, I'm, looking for more information/detail.

Thanks muchly for these Flintz, I have already printed all the articles above. The riverside projects are particularly good. The link to the laserscan is the picture I was talking about in my first post. It is perfect in what it shows, just very small and a little hard to see detail. Looks like I may have to settle for that one..I've spent literally hours searching Google images for every conceivable word combination, and this little map is the best I could come up with.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.

Google British Archaeology as well, their back issues are down loadable.
The Britsh Acedemy is also very useful Shark. But be prepared to find that a lot of treasured ideas are currently under discussion with some pretty heated disputes.
Just about every piece of info can be used to support different ideas, all valid and perhaps all wrong.

Great idea. I was unaware that the back issues of Britarch were available. Now I have to buy another three ring binder for the pages I'll be printing from these articles !

I've been on the Britarch mailing list for some time now: as you said, there are many 'pretty heated disputes' going on, with both sides of an issue backed by so-called experts. Interesting stuff.

Archaeology over here will be a lot duller Shark if they ever get all the answers on that subject believe me!
The British Acedemy stuff can be very interesting but somewhat heavier. The Bluestone debate/argument frequently surfaces on the BBC Wales web site as well, also worth keeping an eye on publications from the Wiltshire Arch Soc and the Pembrokeshire Arch Soc.

Yes, I agree in one respect (it would take the fun out of theorizing, debating, good arguments and exchanges), but it would be nice to actually solve some of the hotter questions. There is an endless list of topics in archeology and british history to discuss! For my money, the whole Stonehenge story is at the top of my 'want-to-know' list!

True!
