We have now identified 50 of the 52 sarsen stones at Stonehenge as coming from a quarry about fifteen miles away. You probably know about the roughly 5,000-year-old Neolithic-period henge monument on England’s Salisbury Plain. The new study used a combination of geochemical and statistical analyses, and a multidisciplinary team of archaeologists and geologists identified a chemical signature for the megaliths, including all 15 standing stones that form the site’s iconic inner horseshoe.
