"At the time of the Winter Solstice experts believe people would have
brought livestock with them to Stonehenge for a solstice feast.
Initial research suggests the animals were brought considerable
distances to the ceremonial site at this time of year."

"Researchers will also try and ascertain whether Britain=92s Copper Age
started 50 years earlier than first thought. Circumstantial evidence
points to copper tools being in use at Durrington Walls earlier than
originally thought. Cut-marks on animal bones should reveal whether
they were made by copper daggers as opposed to flint tools."
