Re: Secrets of the Stonehenge Skeletons, shown on UK Channel 4 TV by Anonymous on Sunday, 31 March 2013

"Feasting on a grand scale at the Stonehenge complex occurred around the Mid-Winter solstice. Professor Mike Parker Pearson and his team have tested cattle and pig teeth found among 80,000 animal bones from the huge henge of Durrington Walls near Stonehenge and the film reveals that the animals were slaughtered in Winter, nine months after their spring birth. This evidence points to the Mid-Winter Solstice gatherings at Stonehenge and Durrington Walls being a time for feasting on an unprecedented scale."
Im surprised at this conclusion. Surely all that it proves is the animals were brought to the site and not necessarily the people who raised them were at the feast. We know of animal fairs where animals were traded, why isnt it just a case of the animals where there?

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
