We received this email this week and thought we would share it with you as there is some great videos on David Royal’s Blog and some super photos on flickr. Unfortunately People in the UK cannot view the video’s at the Smithsonian Channel website, but can view them at the BBC site

Hello Gary and Ruth,

I came across your post on the current Stonehenge excavation, “The Stonehenge dig it; follow it LIVE”, today while doing some research for my client the Smithsonian Channel. The Smithsonian Channel is partnering with the BBC to film the documentary of the excavation, and we’ve been promoting the dig online in a handful of venues. I see that you’re fascinated by Stonehenge (me too – I am hoping to visit soon) and I thought you might be interested to check out some of the content the Smithsonian Channel has from the dig.

There is an area at the Smithsonian Channel website with the same daily dig update videos as at the BBC and a great deal of other information, you can find it here: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_stonehenge.do

We also have some unique content from Stonehenge where the Smithsonian Channel’s David Royal has been live blogging and sharing photos. David just got back to the US and we’ll be uploading a bunch of video from him in the next few days. All his content is at his profile in the Smithsonian Channel Community here (for example just yesterday he shared a recipe for ‘druid bread’ that was passed onto him by one of the druids at Stonehenge).

Finally, we are sharing David’s photos from the site (with Creative Commons attribution) at a dedicated Flickr account: http://flickr.com/photos/smithsonian-channel-stonehenge-excavation.

Let me know if you’d like to learn some more.

Thanks for your time.
