The British Bronze Age threw huge and huge with food and friends from afar

You can learn a lot about people by studying their garbage, including residents who have lived for thousands of years.

In what the team calls “the largest study of its kind”, the researchers applied this principle on the British iconic middle medals, or prehistoric giant garbage (sorry,, Garbage(Aquams. Their analysis revealed that it is at the end Bronze Age (From 2300 to 800 BC), people – and their animals – from afar to a feast together.

“In a time of climate and economic instability, people in southern Britain turned into eating it-perhaps there was an era in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age,” Ticket Posted yesterday in Iscience magazine, he said at a university statement. “These events are strong to build and unify relations within societies, in the past.”

The origin of the altar animals

Madgwick and his colleagues have investigated the six -Madinat materials in Wilesher and the Thames Valley by analyzing the isotopes, using technical archaeologists to connect animal residue with the unique chemical makeup of a specific geographical region. This technique reveals the place of animal raising, allowing researchers to see what people have traveled to join these holidays.

Magwick added: “The size of the accumulation of these debris and its wide gatherings is amazing and indicates collective consumption and social mobilization on an unparalleled scale in prehistoric British history.”

A large average average extends from the village of Putin in Welshir, across about five football fields of its value (this is the United Kingdom, so it may mean football fields) and includes up to 15 million great remains. The researcher’s analysis revealed that here, pork was preferred, with one or more sample of England. However, the animals came from several regions, indicating that the Potterne site was a place to gather for both local and far -producing producers.

The team found that Runnymede in Surrey was also a great regional center, although the cattle was the long journey there. On the other hand, the estimated remains of hundreds of thousands of animals were in Tel in East Cisonbury, just 10 miles (16 km) from Stoneg, mostly. What’s more, the researchers noted that the majority of the east of Chesnberie were local.

“The results we have reached that everything in the middle of it had a distinctive makeup for animal remains, with each other full of high sheep locally and others with pigs or livestock from afar and on a large scale,” said Carmen Esposito, author of the study at the University of Bologna. “We believe that this indicates that every middle was like lynchpin in the scene, the key to preserving the specific regional economies, expressing identities and maintaining relations between societies during this troubled period, when the value of bronze decreased and people resort to agriculture instead.”

A number of garbage piles were combined from these prehistoric times, which resulted from the largest holidays in Britain to the Middle Ages (this means that they are even the Romans), in the end in the scene as small hills.

“In general, research refers to the dynamic networks that have been established on nutrition events during this period and various roles, and perhaps supplementing them, which each middle had to move the age of bronze iron,” and Madegoyk concluded.

since Previous research It indicates that the late Neolithic period (2800 BC to 2400 BC) in Britain were also organizing holidays that attracted the guests – and their pigs – from a wide range, and I think it is fair to say that the prehistoric British people were throwing successful over 2000.
