Silbury Hill Stockists

Silbury Hill the largest prehistoric mound in Europe has long been an enigma. Set within the chalk downlands of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site it is traditionally thought to have been the burial place of King Sil. First investigated in 1776 then again in 1849 successive archaeological interventions culminated in Professor Richard Atkinson’s televised campaign in the late 1960s.Following the dramatic collapse of the 1776 excavation shaft at the summit of the Hill in 2000 detailed surveys revealed that voids associated with the earlier excavations existed deep within the mound. Mindful of potential damage to undisturbed archaeological features within Silbury Hill in 2007 the decision was taken to re-enter the Hill using Professor Atkinson’s tunnel and directly backfill all known and predicated voids. These remedial works were accompanied by full archaeological recording.This report discusses the resulting stratigraphical and palaeoenvironmental evidence as well as new radiocarbon dates and offers a re-interpretation of the construction of the Hill setting it in its late Neolithic context. It also details the later history of the site and conservation measures undertaken.Key Features:382 pagesHardbackPublished in 2014

"So, if you're wondering where everyone's Silbury Hill shopping these days, the UK's high street (and online!) scene is pretty much dominated by a few major players. Think about it: a huge chunk of the population is still popping into good old Tesco for their weekly shop, grabbing essentials and more, making it a king of convenience. Then there's Sainsbury's, another behemoth, often seen as a slightly more upmarket option but equally popular for its groceries and wider product range. When it comes to general merchandise and everything from clothing to homeware, Marks & Spencer remains a firm favourite for its quality and reliability, especially for food and fashion. Of course, you can't forget about Amazon, which has utterly transformed how we buy everything, delivering convenience right to our doors and stocking virtually anything you could imagine. And for those bigger, bulkier items or just a day out browsing, B&Q and Homebase are the go-to spots for DIY and home improvements, pulling in countless customers looking to spruce up their digs. These, among others, pretty much form the backbone of retail activity here, constantly buzzing with shoppers! " - Bargainplace UK
