Roman, Greek and ClassicalThree semicircular apses open off a square central space, roofless now, the fill of the vaults showing where the tiles have gone. This was a Roman tomb, built in the fourth century for the owners of a wealthy villa whose remains lie scattered about a hundred metres away. The masonry is original: small blocks of tufa laid in courses, in the technique called opus vittatum, with brick used inside and tufa outside. Image submitted by Anne T

Modern SitesOverton Down Experimental Earthwork
The experimental earthwork on Overton Down, its bank and ditch cut into the chalk in 1960 so that archaeologists could watch how such a structure weathers and settles. The posts along the crest belong to the monitoring. The point of the exercise was and is to dig sections through it at planned intervals over more than a century, and so measure decay against a known starting point rather than infer it.

Neolithic and Bronze AgetheCaptain writes: I thought I had seen some pretty impressive megalithic constructions before, but the Locmariaquer ones are making me think again. This is a massively long passage grave, built in at least two different ages, and much repaired/restored with slabs of concrete. We have many more pictures on our page, including some from the inside. Image submitted by stonetracker

Neolithic and Bronze AgeNot far off the busy road between Morlaix and Roscoff, this Tee shaped allée couverte is apparently a very good example of the type, but it has become very overgrown and unloved, almost part of its surrounding field. Image submitted by TheCaptain

Rock ArtThis page includes several sites of the Pecos River culture in the Seminole Canyon State Historical Park including Panther Cave, Fate Bell Shelter, Black Cave Image submitted by Creative Commons
A hundred and sixty-five miles of border barrier are proposed straight through a federal and state protected canyon holding twenty-seven painted rock shelters. The threat is not the bulldozer but the blasting: vibration can shake painted limestone off a cliff face hundreds of yards from the workings.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTwo ancient cairns on a summit on the island of Fasta. The smallest cairn still has a part of a dry-walling, but most is collapsed during time. The site is visitable by a nice 500 m long footpath through a canyon, passing a small cave, a boulderfield and a tower. Image submitted by jopplanje

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTwo recumbent stone slabs on the north-westerly side of the two summits of Craonaval, North Uist. They may mark the site of a burial but could be natural. There does not seem to be an associated cairn. The view is over Benbecula. Image submitted by Rthoyle

Multi-periodAn ancient bathhouse in Jordan best known for its colourful frescoes adorning its walls and ceilings. The site was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. The paintings show the artistic transition between Byzantine culture and the new Islamic era. Additionally, the caldarium (hot room) of the bath house has a domed ceiling with the earliest known representation of the celestial dome painted on a non-flat, hemispherical surface Image submitted by mrcrow

Neolithic and Bronze AgeBruce A writes:I was taken to a site on top of Jabal Fatouma on the ad-Deir plateau in Petra, southern Jordan, where I was shown this dolmen / propped stone. Despite research, I can find no reference to it. This spot is extremely difficult to get to and while the Bdoul Bedouin seem to find it easy, I struggled along a ledge less than the width of my boot, high up on the cliff face along Wadi Fatouma. I'm sure you could get to it if you started from the north-east, off the Baydah road; it would be a much easier, but longer, stroll. Image submitted by Bashendi

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe houses here are almost 10,000 years old, dug into the ground, plastered, and each was fitted with one or two pairs of clay pillars, set symmetrically either side of the axis of the chamber, with modelled tops. The pillars hold nothing up. They are not structural, so what they were for is an intriguing question. Image submitted by StevanB

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTwo burial mounds of the Corded Ware culture stand on the Kapellenberg above Hofheim am Taunus, raised somewhere between 2900 and 2350 BCE. They are the latest prehistoric monuments on a hill that had already been in use for well over a thousand years by the time they were built. Image submitted by Dodomad

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis menhir in in Castilla y León has lots of holes and stands high on a ridge near a more modern wind farm. There is a story that eggs were thrown at it to make the holes in it by the local people. It also marks the boundary of a couple of local villages. Image submitted by cornishstargazer
