Abstract
The article reports on the discovery of a series of deep pits that form a vast circle around the area at Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England. Topics discussed include the use of high-technology tools in detecting these archaeological finds, extraction of core samples by archaeologist Vince Gaffney and a team of researchers for radiocarbon dating, and the application of optically stimulated luminescence to detect their last exposure to sunlight.
