>By that same arguement we could say elephant baiting took place there.<

Until there is evidence that certain practices did or did not take place at Avebury none should be dismissed (with the obvious exception of elephant baiting of course ;-)

>What archaeology that Has been done shows that the inner area was cleaner than expected.<

I repeat, both you and I know that very little archaeology has taken place at Avebury and that the 'inner area' is not the only area of importance within the Avebury complex.

>Feasting took place on Windmill hill but by assuming marriages and meetings took place inside Avebury you are placing Xtian idiologies on a pre Xtian culture.<

I'm not sure why you are equating meetings and marriages here with Xitan ideologies as there is abundant evidence of both practices existing before and outside that ideology - perhaps you would care to elaborate.
