New research suggests that Stonehenge was used as a cemetery for more than 500 years, much longer than previously thought. The new findings also show that people used the area as a burial site long before placement of its trademark stones (or sarsen stones) was complete.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.cnet.com/2300-1008_3-6240627-1.html?part=rss&tag=6240627&subj=news"><P>The team was led by Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeology professor at the University of Sheffield, with support from the National Geographic Society.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.cnet.com/2300-1008_3-6240627-1.html?part=rss&tag=6240627&subj=news"><P>Andrew Chamberlain, a colleague of Parker Pearson's, says burial at Stonehenge was not for commonfolk.
