  • Neolithic standing stones at Avebury in Wiltshire, England. Two visitors walk along the bank which is the far side of the outer ditch that surrounds this ancient site in southern England. The Avebury complex is one of the principal ceremonial sites of Neolithic Britain that we can visit today. It was built and altered over many centuries from about 2850 BC until about 2200 BC and is one of the largest, and undoubtedly the most complex, of Britain's surviving Neolithic henge monuments. There were originally 98 sarsen standing stones, some weighing in excess of 40 tons and varied in height from 3.6 to 4.2. Avebury is designated a World Heritage Site. Entrance is free.

  • The Whispering Knights, part of the Rollright Stones, a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments near the village of Long Compton, England, United Kingdom. Constructed from local oolitic limestone, the three monuments now known as the Kings Men and the Whispering Knights in Oxfordshire and the King Stone in Warwickshire, are distinct in their design and purpose, and were built at different periods in late prehistory. The stretch of time during which the three monuments were erected bears witness to a continuous tradition of ritual behaviour on sacred ground, from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.

  • Visitors to the ancient site of Stonehenge celebrate the Summer Solstice on the morning of June 21st - the longest day - by dancing in circles while holding hands. The Stonehenge site is a place of pilgrimage for neo-druids and those following pagan or neo-pagan beliefs. The midsummer sunrise began attracting modern visitors in 1870s. Today the stones are owned by English Heritage, the guardians of ancient and historical structures. Most years, substantial police and barriers prevent on-lookers from approaching the stones but on this occasion, revellers were allowed to party long after the early 4.15am sunrise. Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire. Composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones it is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC and served as an outdoor observatory from where to watch the constellations. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

  • A young boy plays billiards in Avebury Manor, an early 16th-century manor house in the village of the same name, built within the Neolithic henge site of Avebury, Wiltshire. The house is a living museum, its renovation funded by the BBC as part of a TV series about heritage restoration and now owned by the National Trust. The young boy pauses to think of his next move, holding the cue across the green baized table to make a triangle - echoing the shapes of overhead lamp shades above his head.

  • A homemade blackboard urging tourists to enter an Irish Bar stands in the road of a Florence side-street. Apparently beer and alcohol helps ugly people have sex and has done so since Neolithic times. A rough illustration of bottles line the bottom of the writing and in the background we see young men walking away into the distance. It is evening and customers are eating in an outdoor restaurant tent as the blue glow from the bar spreads onto the pavement.

  • Two construction workers wash after a long shift constructing Hong Kong's new airport on Chep Lap Kok Island. With their backs turned to the viewer, the workmen attend to their hygiene at a makeshift washhouse attached to a yellow shipping container. One man reaches to wash between his shoulder blades and the other rinses his forearms. The island has been inhabited on and off since the Middle Neolithic period 6,000 years ago and the airport was built on a large artificial island formed by levelling Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau islands (3.02 km² and 0.08 km² respectively), and reclaiming 9.38 km² of the adjacent seabed. The original farming and fishing villages on the island were relocated to Chek Lap Kok Village on Lantau. The core programme cost more than $20bn and involved four major sponsors, ten separate projects and 225 construction contracts.
