Thanks very much for your comprehensive answer Tiompan - which I have read. In some ways it answers Sanctuary's original question about cancer. I imagine it would have been rare for anyone, especially men, to live long enough to develop it. And women were routinely dying in childbirth until comparatively recently.

The Amesbury Archer lived with a traumatic injury but did he actually die a violent death?

And also ... (I should know) what does BTA stand for - guessing, bronze tipped arrowhead?


Ooops , sorry , just a quick copy and paste ,hence the Windmill Hill bollocks spotted by ED .
BTA = Barbed and tanged arrowhead .
