“However, it’s not clear what could have led to the violence: “Neither CLIMATE CHANGE, ethnic conflict nor competition over material resources seem to offer convincing explanations,””

I doubt they were all that concerned about sea levels rising a few inches in the next 50 years especially because they were lucky to live half as long.

This is only unusual in that the evidence was preserved in this way.

Cannabalism and massacres are actually common in pre-history.

The best reference for the general public is the book: War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage.

How do they know it was a massacre and not the work of a serial killer who murdered and ate these people over the course of a few year years?

and suggested it may have even been a "political statement" of violence so brazen it would have "resonated across the wider region and over time."

Need to emulate the tactics given the times we live in

“Well, a small group of us were invited over to the new neighbor’s house for dinner. So, we thought, ‘What the heck, let’s check it out.” We enter the house, and we are lead to the kitchen, not the dinning room. That was the first clue that something was, you know... amiss!”

WOW! Sounds like the Crow Creek Massacre in the Americas in 1325AD. Over 450 Men women, children killed, scalped, butchered and left for the buzzards.
