G. S. Crawford, Mortimer Wheeler and Gordon Childe; Grafton Elliot Smith and W. H. R. Rivers (of 'Regeneration' fame); Alfred Watkins and The Old Straight Track; and the thunderous George Watson Macgregor Reid, who brought the Druids back to Stonehenge Examines the production of archaeological knowledge as a social process, and the relationship between personalities, institutions, ideology, and power Addresses the ongoing debates of the significance of sites such as Stonehenge, Avebury, and Maiden Castle
