Summary

A new chronology for Stonehenge's construction and burial sequence, anchored by Bayesian radiocarbon dating, reveals five distinct prehistoric stages. This study integrates excavation data with advanced modeling to propose a more precise timeline, linking the monument's evolution to neighboring sites in its vicinity. While absolute certainty remains elusive due to the site's complexity, this comprehensive approach significantly advances our understanding of Stonehenge's development, providing a robust foundation for future public engagement and research.
