Source: Telegraph (9-10-08) Analysis of animal remains found near to Stonehenge has shown that cattle were brought to the area from as far away as Wales or even the Scottish Highlands. Scientists tested the chemical fingerprint of cattle teeth found at Durrington Walls, a Neolithic monument built 500 years before Stonehenge. They found that far from being local, the animals could only have been reared in areas of Wales or Scotland, which have high levels of the chemical element strontium in the soil. ...

Rumbling about in a 25-ton backhoe, Tom McIntyre and Scott Dryden don't look a bit like ancient Druids. Yet the two lifetime Hopkinton residents are the guys - don't call them artists - who built their own local version of Stonehenge on the grounds of the old Terry farm. Drive along Hayden Rowe Street and check out what looks like a 14-foot-tall stone doughnut sticking out of the ground by the offices of the Cultural Arts Alliance which is renovating the century-old barn. If you're coming from the high school, take a gander at 10 granite benches near the giant doughnut, arranged like a miniature Roman amphitheatre just waiting for a performance. What gives? Did the owners of McIntyre Loam and Scott's Landscaping just start sculpting with Volkswagen-sized blocks of granite on a whim? Well, you know how it is when two builders have heavy equipment, granite slabs and a little free time. While volunteering for the CAA, McIntyre and Dryden turned a patch of muddy ground into a striking new landmark that's attracting curious looks and approving comments. "We weren't think about making art," said McIntyre. "We were just using granite so it wouldn't go to waste." Brian Herr, who chairs both the Board of Selectmen and the CAA's Barn Restoration Project, said the huge stone circle once served as the foundation for the silo beside the barn. Before being broken into bench-sized slabs, the granite served as the foundation of the barn which h ...
YES sent me copies of the pieces it will run on the history of Yankee Stadium for Sunday's pre-game - one on baseball's "cathedral" and the other on non-baseball events at the big ballpark in the Bronx. I got the general idea where it was headed when one of the segments opened by comparing the Stadium to Stonehenge, the Pyramids, the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal, and later threw in the Roman Colosseum. I'm about ready for that new stadium to open now. ...
