Hi Goffick

How are you keeping? I think PP called the remains workers homes because they were different from the usual remains. Just somewhere for the workers to sleep I suppose.

But you are quite right most of the local population would have had plenty to do without lugging bloody great stones about. The earliest farmers must have practised a type of "slash and burn" farming, clearing new land on a regular basis. To say nothing of making every scrap of clothing by hand, ploughing the new land with nothing more than a sharpened stick and a reluctance Ox, making bread, stone axes, spears, bows and arrows (Neolithic man would still have done a bit of hunting) and who knows what else they would have had to do.

I think it is unlikely that they could have spared more than 10% of the fittest men for the job on a full time basis.
