Take a virtual look at Neolithic Stonehenge
1:53pm Thursday 22nd December 2011 in News By Hannah White
ARCHAEOLOGISTS from Bournemouth University have created a virtual map of Neolithic Stonehenge.
Google Under-the-Earth: Seeing Beneath Stonehenge, is the first computer application of its kind to transport users around a virtual prehistoric landscape to explore Stonehenge.
It was developed using new field data gathered during investigations by teams from the universities of Sheffield, Manchester, Bristol, Southampton and London as part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project.
Google Under-the-Earth works by adding layers of archaeological information to Google Earth technology.
The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Google Research Awards.
The application can be downloaded at blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk/seeing-beneath-stonehenge.
