ABSTRACT
Four thousand years ago Early Bronze Age Britons built a wooden monument near the coast of East Anglia in eastern England. Some time after it was built the monument was buried under sand by the encroaching sea. Four thousand years later in the Information Age, and following a winter storm, the beach was washed away and the monument was revealed. In the intervening 4000 years, the inhabitants of East Anglia had survived invasions, migrations and technological transformations such that the Early Bronze Age Britons would not have recognized the modern coast. The modern Information Age Britons marvelled at the Early Bronze Age technology, wondered what the hewn-timber monument could mean, and named the structure Seahenge.
