John Aubrey's Meticulous Plan of Avebury: An English Antiquary's Legacy to Archaeology John Aubrey (1626-1697), an English antiquary and archaeologist, is renowned for his significant contributions to the study of ancient sites through his detailed plans and sketches. This image showcases Aubrey's intricate plan of Avebury, an ancient ceremonial site located in Wiltshire, England, dating back to circa 3000 BC. Aubrey, a man of insatiable curiosity and a keen observer, meticulously documented his findings through extensive notes and precise plans. His work was groundbreaking in the field of archaeology, as he was one of the first to apply scientific methods to the study of ancient sites. This plan of Avebury, created around 1633, is a testament to Aubrey's dedication and his innovative approach to recording archaeological data. The plan reveals the complex layout of the site, which includes three henge monuments, several circles of standing stones, and various ditches and roads. The largest henge, known as Avebury Henge, encircles the village of Avebury and measures approximately 330 meters in diameter. The smaller henge, known as West Kennet Avenue, is aligned with the nearby Silbury Hill, suggesting a possible connection between the two sites. Aubrey's plan also includes annotations and notes, providing valuable insights into his understanding of the site's historical significance. His detailed records have been invaluable to archaeologists and historians, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of this ancient ceremonial site and its role in England's rich history. This image, a beautiful representation of Aubrey's work, serves as a reminder of the importance of careful documentation and observation in the pursuit of knowledge.
