Reconstruction of the East Kennett Longbarrow 3-05-2009 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the circumscribed octagon(regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, with two sides horizontal and two vertical. | ||||
3. | Construct the circumscribed circle of octagon 2. | ||||
4. | Construct the inscribed octagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | ||||
5. | Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of octagon 4, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
6. | Copy circle 5 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 4. | ||||
7. | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with sides horizontal and vertical. | ||||
8. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of square 7 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to the righthand sides of octagon 4. | ||||
9. | Copy circle 8 four times, to the angular points of square 7. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to circle 10 at the lower righthand side. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 11 three times, to the other angular points of square 7. | ||||
13. | Circles 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 and 12 are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
14. | Remove all redundant parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
15. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
16. | ...or to flattened plants, and finish the reconstruction of the East Kennett Longbarrow formation of 3-05-2009. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
