Journey To Stonehenge | Time Team Classic Special

After Phil Harding's remarkable discovery earlier this year we thought it would be a great opportunity to revisit one of our favourite Classic Specials. Thats why we've decided to re release "Journey To Stonehenge" this Sunday 20th September at 7pm BST. Join us for a watch along and make sure to get involved in the live chat, we love rewatching these classic episodes with you all! In this episode, archaeology students excavate Durrington Walls, Britain's biggest neolithic henge, which dwarfs the nearby Stonehenge. Mike Parker Pearson explains to Time Team his revolutionary theory about the connection between the two sites, where the cremated remains of the dead would, after a winter funerary festival, be thrown into the nearby River Avon to travel downstream to join their ancestors. As they travelled downstream towards Stonehenge, the dead would then be transformed into spirits and pass into the afterlife. The discovery of a curved avenue (the first neolithic road found in Europe) leading from the henge to the river helps to bear out his theory – of the spiritual transition from wood and decay to stone and permanence. Meanwhile, Harding takes part in Time Team's biggest ever reconstruction, a great timber henge aligned to the mid-winter sunrise. Original broadcast date: 28th November 2005.
