Batsomi ba litsomi ba ile ba sebelisa maemo a mapolanka a bulehileng lilemong tse likete pele ho hahoa liemahale tsa Stonehenge, ho latela thuto e ncha.
Lipatlisiso tse ngata li hlahlobile nalane ea Bronze Age le Neolithic ea tikoloho e potolohileng Stonehenge, empa ho sa tsejoe hakaalo ka linako tsa pejana sebakeng sena. Sena se siea lipotso tse bulehileng mabapi le hore na batho ba khale le liphoofolo tse hlaha ba ne ba sebelisa sebaka sena joang pele ho hahoa liemahale tse tummeng tsa baepolli ba lintho tsa khale. Ka pampiri ena, Hudson le basebetsi-'moho le eena ba tsosolosa maemo a tikoloho sebakeng sa Blick Mead, sebaka sa pele ho Neolithic setsomi se haufi le Stonehenge World Heritage Site.

Boithuto bona bo tšehetsa bopaki bo fetileng ba hore sebaka sa Stonehenge ha sea ka sa koaheloa morung o koetsoeng o koetsoeng ka nako ena, joalo ka ha ho ne ho reriloe pele.
Boithuto bona bo boetse bo fana ka likhakanyo tsa matsatsi a ts'ebetso ea batho Blick Mead. Liphello li bontša hore litsomi-ba bokellang ba sebelisitse sebaka sena ka lilemo tse 4,000 ho fihlela nakong ea lihoai tsa khale ka ho fetisisa tse tsejoang le lihahi tsa liemahale sebakeng seo, bao le bona ba ka beng ba ruile molemo sebakeng se fanoeng libakeng tse bulehileng. Liphello tsena li bontša hore lihoai tsa pele le lihahi tsa liemahale sebakeng sa Stonehenge li ile tsa kopana le libaka tse bulehileng tse seng li ntse li hlokometsoe le ho sebelisoa ke makhulo a maholo le batho ba pele ba batho.
Liphuputso tse ling tse mabapi le libaka tse tšoanang li tla fana ka lintlha tsa bohlokoa mabapi le litšebelisano pakeng tsa litsomi le batho ba pele ba lihoai UK le libakeng tse ling. Ho feta moo, thuto ena e fana ka mekhoa ea ho kopanya DNA ea sedimentary, lintlha tse ling tsa tikoloho, le lintlha tsa stratigraphic ho hlalosa tikoloho ea boholo-holo sebakeng seo ho leng thata ho se hlahloba.
