Workers on a housing development in Harnham, England have uncovered items that could date back to 10,000 BC.
The finds, which include pottery and knives, are just eight miles south of the world-famous prehistoric monument.

Cotswold Archaeology had worked with developers Vistry Group on the recent excavation and, amongst other archaeological features, the team has uncovered five Bronze Age barrows (circa 2400 BC – 700 BC) spread across two excavation areas.

There are also ten burials, three cremation burials, Iron Age lynchets, a large number of pits and postholes – dating from the Neolithic and Late Bronze Age – plus pottery, knives and red deer antler.
