  • Amesbury Archer, a Late Neolithic skeleton, 2400-2200 BC, found in a grave near Stonehenge, in the Salisbury Museum, housing archaeological collections from Stonehenge and other local sites from prehistory to the present day, in The King's House, Cathedral Close, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. The burial site is over 4000 years old, one of the earliest bell beaker graves in Britain. The Archer was 35-45 years old when he died and was placed in a wooden chamber beneath a low mound. His left kneecap was missing which would have caused him to have a bad limp. His grave contained an unusually large number and variety of objects, including 5 beaker pots, 18 arrowheads, 2 bracers (archer’s wrist guards), 4 boars’ tusks, 122 flint tools, 3 copper knives, a pair of gold hair ornaments, and a cushion stone.

  • Oblique view of Stelae, South Temple, Ggantija Temples (Giants' Tower), c. 3600-2500 BC, Gozo, Malta, pictured on June 2, 2008, in the morning. The Republic of Malta consists of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea of which Malta, Gozo and Comino have been inhabited since c.5,200 BC. It has been ruled by Phoenicians (Malat is Punic for safe haven), Greeks, Romans, Fatimids, Sicilians, Knights of St John, French and the British, from whom it became independent in 1964. Nine of Malta's important historical monuments are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including these Neolithic temples which are probably the site of a fertility cult, and are the earliest of a series of megalithic temples. They are amongst the world's oldest manmade religious structures, although according to legend they were built by a giantess. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
