“Stonehenge”

“Stonehenge” 

• Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England

• Artist: prehistoric people (ancient European)

• 2500 - 1600 B.C.E. (prehistory/Neolithic)

• Material: Sandstone

Form: Pattern, form, color (choice) using “post and lintel” structures (a building system where vertical supports called "posts" hold up horizontal beams called "lintels," creating openings and supporting structures like roofs by essentially placing weight on the posts)

Function: historians theorize it is likely a marker of the midsummer solstice. (or a burial monument, a meeting place between chiefdoms, or even an astronomical “computer.”)
