STRANGE STONEHENGE #2 | The Coneybury Anomaly: a Mesolithic/Neolithic mashup 6,000 years ago?

Because we can, we're devoting a few shows to the lesser-known aspects of the Stonehenge landscape. So, how would you interpret the Coneybury Anomaly?

(Also look out for The Wilsford Shaft and Blick Mead in the STRANGE STONEHENGE collection).

'The Conyburey Anomaly' is an excellent title for a film - I’d go and see it - but also a marvellously enigmatic name for yet another hole in the ground near Stonehenge.

However, he name is actually completely circumstantial and accidental - but as we hope you’ll agree as you listen to the rest of the show - entirely appropriate.

Aren’t these two gentlemen nice to each other? People nowadays are rarely nice to each other in a discussion. So relaxing.

Can you imagine a party people are still talking about after six thousand years!?

Always great to see new content from my favourite Prehistory guys,
Thanks for all the new content lately, gents 😊😊💙

It reminds me of poverty point in America. The larger multi communal gatherings & deposits ❤

[BenM]

Whenever I see a new video from you guys pop up it always brightens my day. Thanks for continuing to spread this knowledge!

Interesting, given the variety of animals involved in the feast, there were no sheep bones found. Great stuff lads.

[sawahtb]

I bet there was bread and ale too. A big BBQ.

I was raised in a settled farming community. Upon my majority, I left home and lived as a nomad for a little over a decade. Then, I settled into a single place again. I have always wondered if this might not be the case for many a human even in ancient times. I am currently, at age 67, considering a renewal of my nomadic life while I still can. During all these phases of life, I have met with my family for fellowship and feasting the first Saturday in August. (I will allow that it isn't always peaceful, but there is always feasting. :) )

Can’t be anything else than buried alien spaceships. He said 31 buried vessels have been recovered.

8:43 what if someone had just purchased foreign cattle? We do that today. It's quite possible that's not new.

First time I have seen Rupert's screen less "fuzzy" than Michael's.
?

[Appophust]

I love how it's always supposed to be a site of great importance, but no one ever thinks that it might just be a bunch of teenagers having a party. 🤣

[veronlev]

did you compare the composition of the contents of the anomaly and the items that were found in the Orkneys Ness of Brodgar between the temples that were found very recently?

[sleepingsealproductions]

thanks, I am very much enjoying these. worth every penny of my support.

It would be interesting to know if the bones had the oils and grease boiled out of them. It was important for winter to have things in the diet like Lard so that you get the fats and vitamins you need. In winter animals are lean and you will not get enough from a lean animal if you are living in nature. In North America tribes would do big fall hunts to have meat dried to get through winter but also the bones, glands anything you did not eat you boil the greases out for eating in the winter. If the bones are all boiled then you might think about it as a winter preparation not just a feast for that day. Thank you gents for your continued educational videos. Stay safe and healthy.

This actually makes a lot of sense. If you have a transition from hunter-gathering to farming then tribes will get more split up as they specialize. But they will still have a common culture and still get together for some decent feasting and all.
