I think most of the band AC/DC was from Scotland. Thanks Red Badger.

This appears to follow the pattern of the classic 'passage tomb.'

These findings remind me of Doggerland, an ancient ice age area in NW Europe still to be fully understood.

But most archaeologists now think the stone balls were made mainly for artistic purposes, perhaps to signify a person's status in their community or to commemorate an important phase of their lives,

No.

This is the default nitwitery in archaeology right now.

Everything is about Status.

Because people on the edge of survival have all this time to spend making things that have absolutely no use what so ever.

They have even said that hill forts were about Status.

It is just a take off on this stupid Privilege BS they push in school.

Might have been where you were.

Here they were marketed as Kabangers and they were marketed to French kids as ker-banger.
