项目摘要

Context: The proposed research focuses upon the dramatic phase of monument construction that characterises the later Neolithic of the British Isles. This is a period that saw the creation of a wide and varied range of megalithic, timber and earth structures, alongside the development of extensive landscapes of linked and interwoven monuments. Nowhere is this more apparent than Avebury, north Wiltshire. A key component of the UNESCO Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site, the Avebury henge is one of the pre-eminent megalithic monuments of the European Neolithic, sitting alongside Stonehenge, the Boyne Valley passage graves and Carnac alignments. Its 420m diameter earthwork encloses the world's largest stone circle, which in turn encloses two smaller (yet still colossal) megalithic circles of c.100m diameter - the northern and southern inner circles. Within each of the latter are further complex stone settings. From two of its four entrances lead avenues of paired standing stones that together extend for c.3.5km linking with other monumental constructions. It sits at the heart of a landscape rich in later Neolithic monuments, among them Silbury Hill and the West Kennet palisade enclosures. Avebury has stood at the heart of developing narratives of the Neolithic period in the British Isles - a period of remarkable transformation in the ways in which people understood and engaged with the world. Avebury's history has a resonance that extends far beyond the British Isles, informing research on a range of fundamental questions concerning the European Neolithic such as: what sparked this remarkable period of monument construction? What was the inspiration for the monumental forms we observe? Why were specific locations chosen to monumentalise? Aims & Objectives: Despite its international importance, detailed knowledge of Avebury is sorely lacking. The only large-scale excavations to take place at Avebury were carried out in the first half of the 20th Century, with an ambitious programme of open area excavation brought to an abrupt end by the outbreak of WWII. As a result, we have only a partial understanding of the range, character and relationships between the features present at Avebury. This lack of understanding is due to a failure to synthesise, integrate and make available the full detail encoded in the archives resulting from this extensive early 20th century work - much of which was methodologically exemplary - as well as much smaller ad-hoc investigations that took place after. This has lead to only partial understandings of this pivotal site, circular arguments, repeated rediscoveries and a serial forgetting of the results of previous work. To rectify this we will complete the work that ended so abruptly in 1939: carrying out unfinished programmes of detailed post-excavation analysis and synthesising the mass of unpublished detail that survives only in archive form. Most critically, we will make the full set of data available and accessible through the design and implementation of an ambitious, open access digital archive, that will provide a baseline from which all future engagements with Avebury can proceed. This will not only support future archaeological and Heritage studies, but is expressly designed to stimulate, foster and nurture innovative public and creative engagement. Applications & Benefits: The results will have enormous significance for the general public, creative industries and all academic students of prehistory, revealing in detail the origins and subsequent life-history of one of Europe's most important prehistoric sites. They will also allow for effective heritage management (through a fuller understanding of the WHS and its history) as well as enhanced education and tourism potential. Avebury has always been an object of fascination, and as international media interest in recent discoveries has demonstrated, public interest in Avebury is global.
背景:拟议的研究重点是纪念碑建设的戏剧性阶段,特点是后来的新石器时代的不列颠群岛。这是一个时期,看到了各种各样的巨石,木材和泥土结构的创造,以及广泛的景观的发展和交织的纪念碑。这一点没有比威尔特郡北部的埃夫伯里更明显的了。作为联合国教科文组织巨石阵和埃夫伯里世界遗产的重要组成部分,埃夫伯里巨石阵是欧洲新石器时代最杰出的巨石纪念碑之一,与巨石阵,博因谷通道坟墓和卡纳克对齐。其直径420 m的土方工程包围了世界上最大的石圈,而石圈又包围了两个直径约100 m的较小(但仍然巨大)巨石圈--北方和南方的内圈。在每一个后者是进一步复杂的石头设置。从它的四个入口中的两个引出成对的立石大道,它们共同延伸约3.5公里,与其他纪念性建筑相连。它坐落在一个景观丰富的新石器时代后期的纪念碑,其中锡尔伯里山和西肯尼特栅栏围栏的中心。埃夫伯里站在发展不列颠群岛新石器时代叙事的核心-这是一个人们理解和参与世界的方式发生重大转变的时期。埃夫伯里的历史有一个共鸣,远远超出了不列颠群岛,通知研究的一系列基本问题,有关欧洲新石器时代,如:是什么引发了这一显着时期的纪念碑建设?我们所观察到的这些纪念碑的灵感是什么?为什么要选择特定的地点来纪念?目的和目标:尽管埃夫伯里具有国际重要性,但对埃夫伯里的详细了解非常缺乏。在埃夫伯里进行的唯一一次大规模挖掘是在世纪上半叶进行的,一项雄心勃勃的开放区域挖掘计划因第二次世界大战的爆发而戛然而止。因此,我们对埃夫伯里的范围、特征和特征之间的关系只有部分了解。这种理解的缺乏是由于未能综合、整合和提供档案中编码的全部细节,这些档案来自这一世纪早期的广泛工作--其中大部分在方法上是典范--以及之后进行的小得多的特别调查。这导致了对这个关键地点的部分理解,循环论证,反复的重新发现和对以前工作结果的连续遗忘。为了纠正这一点,我们将完成在1939年突然结束的工作:进行未完成的挖掘后详细分析计划,并综合大量仅以档案形式存在的未发表的细节。最重要的是,我们将通过设计和实施一个雄心勃勃的开放式数字档案库,使整套数据可用和可访问,这将为未来与Avebury的所有合作提供一个基线。这不仅将支持未来的考古和遗产研究,而且明确旨在刺激,促进和培养创新的公众和创造性的参与。应用和优势:研究结果将对公众、创意产业和所有研究史前史的学术学生产生巨大的意义,详细揭示欧洲最重要的史前遗址之一的起源和随后的生活史。它们还将允许有效的遗产管理(通过更全面地了解WHS及其历史)以及增强教育和旅游潜力。埃夫伯里一直是一个令人着迷的对象,正如国际媒体对最近发现的兴趣所表明的那样,公众对埃夫伯里的兴趣是全球性的。
