This map shows the wider region where Stonehenge sits, near Salisbury, England.
The primary theory put forth by the researchers is that the seasonal village by the Durrington Walls (where archaeologists excavated several homes) was built to accommodate the living, while Stonehenge was built to honor the dead.
Woodhenge, located near that village, was a monument that looked much like Stonehenge but was constructed of timber. Also during this project, the Stonehenge Cursus--an enclosure of two parallel ditches that stretched nearly 2 miles long--was dated to between 36230 to 3375 B.C.
