Stonehenge Area Likely Used For Mass Barbecue Feasts
- 8 years ago
NPR reports on a study which found that Durrington Walls, an area adjacent to Stonehenge, was likely the location of mass barbecue feasts with roasted pigs and stewed beef about 4,500 years ago.
The origins of Stonehenge and its surroundings may still largely be a mystery, but researchers have learned more about one important element--the food.
A recent NPR report describes the findings of a study from October that focuses on the cuisine of a nearby area called Durrington Walls.
Meat seemed to have been very popular, with evidence of pigs roasted on spits and cows turned into beef stew.
