Summary

A re-examination of the Avebury megalithic complex reveals that clay deposits, previously overlooked, play a dynamic role in Neolithic assemblages. Unlike static material types, these clays exhibit fluid properties shaped by context, challenging traditional understandings of their function and significance. This approach underscores the importance of integrating both surface and subsurface elements to uncover new insights into megalithic structures.
