Abstract:
During excavations in advance of construction at a site on the southern edge of Salisbury Plain, Wessex Archaeology have uncovered a shallow heap of bones, mainly from cattle but including the remains of sheep, a pig and a horse as well as much of the left-hand side of an adult man. The bones speak of a spectacular ceremony held at the time when a defensive enclosure was built around a previously undefended Iron Age settlement, in about 400BC. Analysis of the animal bones suggests they were an offering rather than the remains of a feast. The human burial emphasises the significance of the event. LD
