Cannibal Britons?

[beloitpiper]

Yeah,
As an archaeologist I'd have to say I would believe in Cannibalism being present there if they can find coprolites. But that may be difficult in the wet environment of the British Isles.
Also, drinking from skull cups doesn't mean cannibalism. They could be considered trophy pieces, a common occurance in some Native American Cultures throughout time.
But I'm probably just talking out of my a$$ so don't pay attention to this please if you are more experienced in such matters, please.

As somebody with an archaeology degree, I'd have to agree with this.

Also, they said the bones had "clean cuts". 14,700 years ago, the Mesolithic period, it was pretty hard to make a clean cut of anything. Most of Britain was still covered in ice and was a pretty barren place.

So, the most you could say is that the Brits have been using bone china for longer than originally thought.
