I think it's a bit insulting to describe Mike Parker Pearson as a "TV archaeo" just because he appeared on the telly. He's a well respected archaeologist who has contributed a great deal to modern archaeology thinking through his fieldwork and writings.
His work with Madagascan archaeologist, Ramilisonina, provides us with an alternative and very credible perspect when viewing the Stonehenge landscape through the eyes of the Tandoy, a living pastoralist culture that still erect tombs and use standing stones and timbers.
