Archaeologist Dr George Lambrick giving a talk on location at the stones on Sunday 22nd March 1998. The regulars of the Stones Mailing List and their friends gathered at the Rollright Stones for a get-together, the first of many as it turned out. We were treated to a talk by George Lambrick, leader of the only recent excavation of the Rollright Stones and a trustee of the Rollright Stones Charitable Trust.

At the time he was Deputy Director of the Oxford Archaeology Unit.

Note the Portal proper has 'only' been online for 15 years but Andy B's previous collaborative web sites and those of others on the legendary Stones Mailing List were the direct forerunners and really did start 20 years now.

Re: 'newly recovered audio' - slight exaggeration as I (Andy B) have always had the masters of this archived, but the high quality audio version has never been published before. The RealAudio version was unavailable for many years so I'm pleased to upload it again. More from my archaeological audio archive soon.

Note: As we begin to mark our 20th anniversary online, here is a gem from the archive, with newly recovered audio
