Hi, FTC,

My imeadeate reaction to this is "No" due mainly to the effects of cold (and continued exposure to same) on the people and animals involved - I know I don't work well for long outside in the winter! Then there's the matter of food - would they have had to carry it with them (which means growing it in the seasons before the journey and storing it)? Or would the be able to get enough from the surroundings in winter (supposing it was all their territory)?
As to the delights of defecatory dragging development, how much food is needed to produce a slide for a fifty ton stone. I think it would take a large number of oxen/aurochs (some with severe bowel problems) delivering dung on a regular basis. We should be able to check out this theory by seeing a narrow band of high density foliage stretching from Avebury to Stonehenge! ;-)

Peace
