Anthropologist Blain (applied social sciences, Sheffield Hallam U.) and archaeologist Wallis (visual culture, Richmond U. London) explore the discursive construction of sacred sites in Britain--most famously Stonehenge, but many others as well--by pagans and heritage management. Their research is based in perceptions of changing and problematic inscriptions of meaning and rights within a context of the growth of paganism, particularly in Britain and the US, as expressions of spirituality often with a counter-culture bent.
