Mystery Man of Stonehenge

Archeologists were finishing excavating in Amesbury (planned development of housing) in spring, 2002. It is necessary to film that Amesbury is situated in the southwest of England. During excavation the small Ro part cemetery was uncovered by archeologists and thus that finding was considered fairly common. Nevertheless, two skeletons were discovered and unrivalled of them was important as it was interred in grave made up of timber.The position of a mystery skeleton was rather common for burials in tan Age skeletons legs were in a fetal position. Furthermore, skeleton had a hole in a jawbone proving that he had an abscess. The mystery macrocosm also sustained an injury as he had heavy limp as well as bone infection. That mystery skeleton was Amesbury Archer. Mystery soldiery appeared to be a wealthy dweller of modify region in Central Europe having analogy to forefront. (Stone 2005)Firstly, it is necessary to claim that a mystery man was rather wealthy bowman. According to a rcheologists he was between 35-45 years old and was buried with a black stone wrist guard on his gird of the kind apply to protect archers from the snap of a bowstring. (Stone 2005) Sixteen bouldery arrowheads were scattered across his body and it was assumed that mystery man had certain relation to Stonehenge. The evidence was that massive stone monument was near the burial place.Furthermore, it was apparent that archer was wealthy, because the grave was filled with wrist guards, arrowheads, copper knives, a cache of flint tools as well as metalworking tools. Additionally the grave was arranged with stone shaped like a sofa serving as an anvil. The beside evidence of wealth was a pair of gold ornaments, clay pot. Indeed the archer died rich.(Rubinstein 2005)Secondly, archer was born in a cool region in Central Europe. This fact was revealed due to archers mouth. Archeologists stated that tooth enamel of a person was the best way to point out his place of birth. Tooth enamel con sists of oxygen, calcium and phosphoric and other elements. Actually the composition of the oxygen molecules in apatite depends on the water a person drank as a child, and that, in turn, can reveal a great deal about where he grew upfrom the temperature of rain or snow to the distance from a coast and the areas altitude. (Stone 2005)The fundamental law of the oxygen found in archers teeth was scanned and thus it was determined by geoscientist Chenery (British Geological Survey) that archer was born in a cool region in Central Europe. Possibly, the archer encountered a rural setting of round timber houses with conical thatched roofs. (Stone 2005)Thirdly it was stated that the archer had certain dealings to trade and metalworking. In those times metalworking was the most important skill. And in about 2300 B.C metal implements completely replaced stone weapons and tools which defined the era of Stone Age.The bronzy Age started in the southwest of Europe in about the 4th century B.C. as it was mentioned the grave was filled with different copper knives being used as a weapon and for eating. Cushion stone proved that archer knew how to use and why to use metal instruments. There were some suggestions that the archer belonged to the vanguard of the flashy trade producing metal items used in different shows. (Rubinstein 2005)According to archeologists the metal tool found had to be buried only with his owner. Therefore archer was skillful to move from one community to another having his knowledge in his head. It is possible to suggest that he had unique and exceptional skill for those times, because archer was analogous to magician. It was revealed that the reach of the archer completely coincided with the arrival of the metal implements to the British Isles. Thus the archer is likely to be a pioneer in the new dye Age.In conclusion it is necessary to outline that the mystery men was considered to be the archer who lived in the Central Europe and was busy with producing metal tools and instruments for shows. Furthermore, the time of his arrival was the beginning of the Bronze Age. (Archaeologists Figure out Mystery 2005)ReferencesArchaeologists Figure out Mystery of Stonehenge Bluestones.
