Strange man-made pits over 8,000 years old discovered in North London

But what might these strange pits be used for hunter-gatherers? This is the question that archaeologists will now set out to answer. The first hypotheses of a storage space for food or an animal trap seem unlikely, because the holes are simply too big for it.

Specialists lean more towards the path of spiritual vocation. An astonishing utility, but which might be confirmed by the fact that the pits were dug in specific alignments and not far from a watercourse. The answer may be discovered in the laboratory, where samples of matter will soon be analyzed. The results of the bone analyzes will also be crucial to better understand the usefulness of these artificial graves and thus lift the veil on the existence and customs of our ancestors.

Note that the prehistoric site is much older than the star site of the United Kingdom, Stonehenge, 5000 years younger.
