as is what is currently acted upon on the basis it's authentic!
And yet archaeos get criticised for speculation based on no evidence and pushing pet theories.


Do the punters at SH at solstice believe that they are re-enacting an ancient ceremony ?
If so ,I didn't realise that .

Ceremonial at solstice seems likely because of the calendrical aspect of solstice i.e. it's easy to work out for those who don't have a calendar on the wall and you set off a few days before the sun sets or rises on your local marker ,but there is no evidence of feasting at SH ,unlike Durrington which also lacks the burials at SH .
The bloke who owns Durrington would probably prefer things to stay as they are .
