Stonehenge's enormous monoliths may have been dragged into place using 'greased sledges' 補佐官d with the lubrication of pig fat.?

The lard-based method for the construction of the iconic Wiltshire monument is a theory 示唆するd by archaeologists at Newcastle University.?

Pig fat residues were 設立する on pottery shards at Durrington 塀で囲むs, 近づく Stonehenge, which have long been associated with?feeding the hundreds of people who helped build the 目印??

Dr Lisa-Marie Shillito, Senio r Lecturer in Landscape Archaeology, Newcastle University, said: 'I was 利益／興味d in the exceptional level of 保護 and high 量s of lipids ? or fatty residues - we 回復するd from the pottery.?

'I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to know more about why we see these high 量s of pig fat in pottery, when the animal bones that have been excavated at the 場所／位置 show that many of the pigs were "spit roasted" rather than chopped up as you would 推定する／予想する if they were 存在 cooked in the マリファナs.'

It is now 一般に 受託するd that the 抱擁する megaliths that （不足などを）補う Stonehenge were moved by human 成果／努力, with most theories （人命などを）奪う，主張するing the 激しく揺するs （機の）カム from Preseli Hills in? むちの跡s.?

最近の 実験s have 示唆するd that the 石／投石するs - up to 26 feet (eight metres) high and 重さを計るing as much as two tonnes - could have been moved by 20 people by placing them on a sled and 事情に応じて変わる them over スピードを出す／記録につけるs.

The pottery at Durrington 塀で囲むs consists of over 300 shards and have been 伴う／関わるd in a 範囲 of archaeological 熟考する／考慮するs.??

Fat residues on shards of pottery found at Durrington Walls, near Stonehenge, have long been assumed to be connected with feeding the many hundreds of people that came from across Britain to help construct the ancient monument

分析 of residues of 吸収するd fat is a 広範囲にわたって-used technique which can 明らかにする／漏らす?what foods different type of pottery was used for.???

'There are still many unanswered questions surrounding the construction of Stonehenge', she says.?

'Until now, there has been a general 仮定／引き受けること that the traces of animal fat 吸収するd by these pieces of pottery were 関係のある to the cooking and 消費 of food, and this steered 初期の 解釈／通訳s in that direction.?

'But there may have been other things going on 同様に, and these residues could be tantalising 証拠 of the greased sled theory.

'Archaeological 解釈／通訳s of pottery residues can いつかs only give us part of the picture.?

'We need to think about the wider 状況 of what else we know and take a 'multi-proxy' approach to identify other 可能性s if we hope to get a better understanding.'?

STONEHENGE'S CONSTRUCTION REQUIRED GREAT INGENUITY

Stonehenge was built thousands of years before 機械／機構 was invented.?

The 激しい 激しく揺するs 重さを計る 上向きs of several tonnes each.

Some of the 石／投石するs are believed to have 起こる／始まるd from a quarry in むちの跡s, some 140 miles (225km)?away from the Wiltshire monument.

To do this would have 要求するd a high degree of ingenuity, and 専門家s believe the 古代の engineers used a pulley system over a 転換ing conveyor-belt of スピードを出す／記録につけるs.

Historians now think that the （犯罪の）一味 of 石／投石するs was built in several different 行う／開催する／段階s, with the?first 完全にするd around 5,000 years ago by Neolithic Britons who used 原始の 道具s, かもしれない made from deer antlers.

Modern scientists now 広範囲にわたって believe that Stonehenge was created by several different tribes over time.

After the Neolithic Britons - likely natives of the British 小島s - started the construction, it was continued centuries later by their 子孫s.?

Over time, the 子孫s developed a more communal way of life and better 道具s which helped in the erection of the 石／投石するs.?

Bones, 道具s and other artefacts 設立する on the 場所／位置 seem to support this hypothesis.
