Dr Nick Snashall – Discovering Avebury – landscape and people
Avebury, its ancient stones and burial mounds have been the subject of speculation and exploration for centuries. In this talk Nick will reveal the story of a landscape that almost four hundred years after the antiquary John Aubrey first encountered and is still giving up its secrets.
She is the National Trust archaeologist for the Stonehenge & Avebury World Heritage Site and has excavated on prehistoric, Roman and Medieval sites across Britain and Europe. An expert in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, her research interests include prehistoric stone tools, landscape inhabitation and the archaeology of ritual and religion. She is co-director of the Avebury Living with Monuments Project.
