"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’s 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."
