Thats the view of Mike Parker Pearson, professor of British later prehistory at University College London (UCL) who says some of the famous rocky slabs known as bluestones may have first been erected in Wales and then moved on to England around 500 years later.

The big surprise was that they didnt use rollers to move the stones thats something of a Victorian myth, Parker Pearson, who worked alongside a number of other archaeologists and geologists, said.

According to research, each of the 80 monoliths weighed less than two tons so they could have been dragged by teams of people or oxen. Parker Pearson cites the examples of India and elsewhere in Asia where single stones were carried on wooden lattices by groups of up to 60 people.

National Geographic writer Rachel Hartigan Shea spoke with Parker Pearson about what he and his colleagues discovered and how modern celebrants greeting the summer solstice at Stonehenge may have gotten the wrong day.

"These were men, women, children, so presumably family groups," University College London professor Mike Parker Pearson, who led the team, said. "We'd thought that maybe it was a place where a dynasty of kings was buried, but this seemed to be much more of a community, a different kind of power stru

The team studied the teeth of pigs and cattle found at the "builders' camp," and deduced that the animals were mostly slaughtered around nine months or 15 months after their spring births. That meant they were likely eaten in feasts during the midwinter and midsummer, Parker Pearson said.

"We'd thought that maybe it was a place where a dynasty of kings was buried, but this seemed to be much more of a community, a different kind of power structure," Parker Pearson said. "These were men, women, children, so presumably family groups."

However, Parker Pearson continued, the last construction work at Stonehenge occurred sometime between 2,000-1,500 B.C., which was the age of the "Beaker People,"a culture that apparently originated in Spain, immigrated throughout Europe and the British Isles and was distinguished for its unique pot
