Abstract
Studies of megalithic stone settings have tended to focus upon features perceptible above the ground, whereas sub-surface elements have received markedly less attention. Consideration of both as elements of assemblages provides opportunities for new understandings to emerge. Through re-examination of stone settings within the context of the Avebury monumental complex, the value of this approach is demonstrated. The existence of discrete material types with essential properties is undermined as new, fluid, contextually situated substances reveal themselves, enabling a reappraisal of other assemblages within the group.
