| description | An Early Bronze Age assemblage of human remains from Charterhouse Warren, southwest
England, exhibits evidence of extreme violence. At least 37 men, women and children were
killed and butchered and their disarticulated remains were thrown down a 15m deep natural shaft in what is most plausibly interpreted as a single event. This level and scale of violence to the living as well as to the dead is unprecedented in British prehistory. |
