JEFFREY BROWN: Stonehenge is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and, with its huge stones aligned with the solstices, a place of great wonder and mystery. Now, archaeologists think they've shed new light on the site and the surrounding area, unearthing a village of dwellings built some 4,600 years ago, at the same time as Stonehenge.The new findings are located about two miles from Stonehenge in southern England.

Julian Thomas is a professor of archaeology at Manchester University and one of the directors of the project. He joins us from Manchester.
