Merlin Didn't Build Stonehenge
Excavators uncovered a support village for building Stonehenge - not a permanent village or town, but something temporary, perhaps seasonal.
Other evidence from cow and pig bones found on the site suggests that people were coming into the area on a seasonal basis."This was a temporary settlement," he says. "They were not doing basic daily chores, not grinding corn, not raising animals. There were no baby pigs and cows. It looks like the livestock had been brought in."
Sorry, Wizards. And there are signs of hierarchy. Sorry, folks who keep trying to find egalitarian societies in the past.
