Petrified poop reveals what Stonehenge builders ate


Five pieces of poop — from one human and four dogs — were found to contain the eggs of parasitic worms. The human poop and three of the dog coprolites contained the eggs of capillariid worms, identified in part by their lemon shape. One piece of the poop belonging to a dog contained the eggs of fish tapeworm, indicating it had become infected by eating raw freshwater fish. Stonehenge is made of two types of stone: larger sarsen stones and smaller bluestone monoliths from Wales, which were erected first. However, there is little evidence to suggest that people lived or ate at Stonehenge itself.
