What did neolithic man eat after a hard day at Stonehenge? Sweet pork and rich cheese

Analysis of bones and pottery fragments shows special foods were consumed in feasts at the ancient site

Britons' Stone Age ancestors possessed some unexpected talents, scientists have discovered. On top of their prowess in constructing great monoliths such as Stonehenge, they were also adept at staging first-rate parties.

Roast sweetened pork consumed with a range of rich dairy products including cheese and butter appear to have been commonplace at feasts - according to an English Heritage exhibition, Feeding Stonehenge, which will open this week at the stone circle's visitor centre.
