......and another delicious snippet of information from the guide at Durrington Walls...... It seems that the pigs they sacrificed there at the Winter Solstice had very rotten teeth after only six months of life. Speculation is that they were fed a very sweet diet to fatten them up for the sport and feasting.
It seems odd that 4 ,or is it 5 years after the original tests which showed that the pigs at Durrington were farrowed in the spring of their subsequent winter demise , no mention was made of the relative rotteness when the info was derived from the teeth .
Honey roast ham anyone?
Jim.
The palisade and number of houses (last year ) also seem to have an element of exaggeration . Maybe salt is is more appropriate than honey .
