From the A303 in Wiltshire, motorists can catch sight of the megalithic structure of Stonehenge. But as a primary route for both commuters and holiday makers the road is notoriously traffic-clogged, and plans to upgrade the road have been decades in the making. John Adams is the chairman of the Stonehenge Alliance, a group dedicated to fighting the project that they consider too vast and intrusive to the prehistoric site.

Researchers reconstruct landscapes that greeted the first humans in Australia around 65,000 years ago



https://phys.org/news/2024-04-reconstruct-landscapes-humans-australia-years.html

 

The Tūhura Otago Museum is unveiling its new exhibition "Prehistoire: Art and artefacts from France" today for this year's Archaeology Week.

Said to capture the depths of European prehistory, the exhibit would incorporate a series of 12 short films by French archaeologists about ancient techniques and craftsmanship behind prehistoric artefacts.

Supported by the French Embassy and the Pôle d'interprétation de la Préhistoire in southern France, the exhibit would mark the first public screening of the films in New Zealand.
