During the medieval and post-medieval periods, the stones comprising of circles and alignments of the Neolithic monument of Avebury were systematically dismantled and destroyed. In the medieval this took the form of deliberate burial; during the post-medieval, a systematic campaign of stone-burning and breaking. Although the impact of these acts upon Avebury, and subsequent histories of the sit, was dramatic, we know little of the motivations, longevity, or variety of practises encompassed by the terms 'stone-burial' and stone-breaking'. Drawing upon a substantial new body of excavation date and archival research, this project seeks to interpret and understand these dramatic processes.

在中世纪和后中世纪时期，埃夫伯里新石器时代纪念碑的圆圈和线条组成的石头被系统地拆除和摧毁。在中世纪，这采取了故意埋葬的形式；在后中世纪，有系统地焚烧和打碎石块。尽管这些行为对埃夫伯里以及后来的SIT历史产生了戏剧性的影响，但我们对石葬和碎石这两个术语所包含的动机、寿命或各种习俗知之甚少。利用大量新的挖掘日期和档案研究，这个项目试图解释和理解这些戏剧性的过程。
