The Guardian have featured BU’s Seeing Beneath Stonehenge application in its internationally acclaimed Research Notes feature.
The project applies Google Earth technology to transport you around the virtual landscape of this magnificent monument. You can interact with the exciting discoveries of the Stonehenge Riverside Project and learn more about the archaeology of this internationally important site.
In an extensive interview with the Guardian’s Lucy Tobin, BU’s Dr Kate Welham, who led the project, said: “We wanted to make our discoveries even more accessible and put the exciting archaeological findings into a virtual environment so that even if people couldn’t visit Stonehenge, they could fly around it from their living room.
“In many places we have put in 360-degree panoramas that you can zoom in and out of so that you get a real feeling of being in the landscape, it means the hard work of our archaeology students, who worked with us to gather the research, can be seen by millions around the world.”
