For years archaeologists have been mystified as to why giant 'Preseli' bluestones from Mynydd Y Preseli in Pembrokshire, south-west Wales ended up at Stonehenge, almost 200 miles away.But now researchers from the Royal College of Art think they may have found the answer, along with a surprising new role for Britain's most popular heritage site: the bluestones may have been sought for their unique acoustic properties, which together made up a prehistoric soundscape at Stonehenge.The findings have been published today in the Journal of Time & Mind, and come at a timely moment with the opening of the new Stonehenge Visitor Centre later this month (18 December).

Talks
This event took place on 18 June 2020.2020 has taught us many things. This is one of them – we need leaders who are creative and creatives who are leaders. This talk brings together Christopher Patnoe from Google and the RCA’s Rama Gheerawo to talk about the emerging area of Creative Leadership, something that we can all benefit from both personally and professionally. They will explore how the three values of Empathy, Clarity and Creativity have inspired their personal practices and have an open discussion about how they can affect yours. This is an opportunity to eavesdrop with Christopher and Rama, hear some of their ‘trade secrets’ and then interact with them to ask your own questions.
