He has featured on several radio and TV programmes, including the BBC2 Ancestors series. He was found during excavation in advance of a housing development at Amesbury in Wiltshire, and the man was dubbed the “Amesbury Archer” or the “King of Stonehenge” by the media. His grave was the richest from this period (the early Bronze Age) ever found in Britain and contained the country’s first gold objects. The grave of a man dating to around 2,300BC was discovered three miles from Stonehenge by Wessex Archaeology staff in May 2002.
