Druh dokumentu: Working Paper
Popis: In a recent paper in Antiquity (Darvill 2022), the author has proposed that the project of the <> phase (stage 2) of Stonehenge (c. 2600 BC) was conceived in order to represent a calendar year of 365.25 days, that is, a calendar identical in duration to the Julian calendar. The aim of the present paper is to show that this idea is totally unsubstantiated, being based as it is on a series of forced interpretations and unsupported analogies.
Comment: Accepted manuscript, to appear in Antiquity
