I do some work with the Smithsonian Channel, who are filming a documentary with the BBC at the excavation.
If you’re interested, you can find a whole bunch of information and videos about the dig here: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/sho w_stonehenge_bios.do
Plus, the EVP of the Smithsonian Channel is live blogging from Stonehenge (plus photos and video) at this link: http://community.smithsonianchannelcommunity.com/droyle

After visiting the Stonehenge complex I was awe struck at the scale of the grounds around the actual Stone circles (yes it is plural, a close group of rings) my guess is a quarter mile or more in all directions, cleared, smoothed, pasture land. Truly a must see if you are ever lucky enough to find yourself in the southwestern side of England. There exists numerous examples in the immediate area.

I would like to buy one piece for Bush/Cheney dynasty and their servants so they could have a place for their ritual feasting and funeral ceremonies.
O’Reilly and Limbaugh will have their contributions.

Remains of pig bones found on the site emphasize the theory of religious rituals, and in 3000 years what will be left of Western Civilization for archeologist to analyze?
