About Us
The project is jointly run by Archaeoptics Ltd and Wessex Archaeology. It was begun to test how well a laser scanner could record some of the known rock art at Stonehenge during the summer of 2002, rather than a commissioned project. Due to the interesting nature of the archaeology, the team have continued to study the data, much of it in their spare time.
Pictures of the team are available.
Wessex Archaeology is one of the largest archaeological practices in the country, working across the UK to further our knowledge of our past. Wessex was set up in 1979 just outside the medieval city of Salisbury, is also a charity, devoted to educating the public about archaeology through lectures, events and public relations.
