Stonehenge Site of First 'Rock' Concert

Today's Science Now website reports latest archaeological findings from Stonehenge:


[quote]. . . an interdisciplinary research team working at Stonehenge, the iconic megalithic monument in south England, claims to have found [evidence of] . . . large gatherings of people interested in hearing loud noise. The find could push the origin of [rock] concerts back thousands of years...

"All of these lines of evidence converge on only one likely conclusion," says Nigel Tufnel, an anthropologist at the University of Witney in the United Kingdom who was not involved in the excavations. "Young people came to Stonehenge to listen to loud music with a strong beat. Some went back home, but others stayed and were buried here." As for the monument itself, Tufnel has his own thoughts about its creators. "No one knows who they were, or what they were doing," he says. "But their legacy remains." [/quote]
