BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Stonehenge builders’ houses found — This is pretty funny actually. Apparently this crowd were a bunch of slobs. And it also appears that these were party houses! Things never change!

The dwellings were made of wood, with a clay floor and central hearth. The archaeologists found 4,600-year-old rubbish covering the floors of the houses.

“It is the richest – by that I mean the filthiest – site of this period known in Britain,” Professor Parker Pearson told BBC News…

Professor Parker Pearson believes it drew Neolithic people from all over the region, who came for massive feasts in the midwinter, where prodigious quantities of food were consumed. The bones were then tossed on the floors of the houses.

“The rubbish isn’t your average domestic debris. There’s a lack of craft-working equipment for cleaning animal hides and no evidence for crop-processing,” he said.

“The animal bones are being thrown away half-eaten. It’s what we call a feasting assemblage. This is where they went to party – you could say it was the first free festival.”

Food fight!
