Archaeologists began a new excavation at Stonehenge on Monday. It has been over forty years since an archaeological dig was allowed at the site and this most recent project required approval of the British Cabinet. The goal of the excavation is to unearth material that will allow scientists to establish a firm date on precisely when the circle of stones was built. The date of the circle is, at this point, entirely a matter of (educated) speculation. Fixing a date may also give rise to clearer ideas regarding Stonehenge's original purpose.
