Large Groups Came Together for Grand Feasts at the End of the #BronzeAge in Britain
After analyzing bone fragments found in millennia-old trash piles, researchers say that people may have brought livestock from far and wide to consume in the south

"Nearly 3,000 years ago, groups gathering for feasts in southern Britain gnawed the meat off enough bones to generate massive trash heaps. These mounds, which became part of the British landscape, are known as middens. Now, a new analysis of material from six middens is providing insight into the scope of ancient feasting.
"The middens date back to the late Bronze Age, which was a time of '#SocietalShifts across Europe,' according to a study published this month in the journal iScience. During this period, huge crowds came together for 'feasts on a scale unparalleled in British prehistory.'
" 'I’m pretty sure these gatherings would have had a really important role to play in creating some degree of community cohesion at a time of trouble,' co-author Richard Madgwick, an archaeologist at Cardiff University, tells the Guardian’s Steven Morris."

Bronze Age middens in southern Britain weren’t just trash heaps. Isotope evidence shows pigs, cattle, and sheep traveled hundreds of miles to massive feasts—ritual hubs shaping life before the Iron Age. #Archaeology #BronzeAge #Feasting https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-feast-before-the-iron-age
The grandkids came over for Christmas Eve with Nana/Poppa. They wanted breakfast at 3pm, so I whipped up a breakfast feast for them.

Dear Friends from #Heaven, Hell and other #imaginary #dimensions! :2671-blobsupersaiyan:
#Happy #Yule, Gruel and Baby Jesus day! I was out very #early to make sure our local #Magi, Vicars and Christmas #trees and others were out, watching out for Santa Claws and his #magic.
Apart from a couple of #foxes #feasting on #curry from the local #mosques, very little activity. The two nearest Churches were closed to Jesus, #Rudolph and Tiny Tim. Now I can hear the church #bells #ringing for #mourning hypocrisy and #goodwill to Allah/Jehovah/Tetragrammaton etc. Pull the other one its got bells on it.
As a Hypercritter myself, I am burning #sandalwood, looking forward to a #demi-vegan lunch of #Chicken, #Stuffing, #Vegan #veg and Xmas #pudding.
I have watched the news from the Holy Land (#Nepal) and the Dalai Lama is not sending in his #Garudas and #Lamas to placate the #Abrahamic regions ...
I wish you all well on this day of Suicide and #Cheer (whichever you #prefer). #Live, Long and #Prosper 🎉 ❤️ ⭐
Very apropos in this time of #feasting: join the talk by Dr. Darling on "The #banquet in #Celtic tradition" this coming Monday!

The daily show mentioned how #ozempic was going to help people eat less. So these #drugs are going to affect the #fisting.
And I heard that and it made sense for like a second. Fisting? Holiday fisting? It sounds like a load of fun I guess 😉. #thanksgiving fisting though? Oh...oh....#feasting! Then my brain could return to its original base level. Feasting! Why I be thinking fisting. Yeah. No fisting the turkey for feasting. Try #vegan meals. Maybe because I'm totally sick right now?
“Lent begins tomorrow. So eat. Drink. Like Christ himself, enjoy the fatness of God’s house, and imbibe from the river of his delights. The desert road is long, and dry, and barren, and we have been given the lushness of the river, the joy of repentance, to sustain us in the coming dryness. Today, God offers us one final night of feast. Alleluia.”

Right, now time to be nosy 😋. Do people here celebrate Solstice with special foods (either as part of a spiritual practice or just because)?

Óminnishegri heitir
sá er yfir ölðrum þrumir,
hann stelr geði guma; þess fugls fjöðrum
ek fjötraðr vark í garði Gunnlaðar.
The mind-stealing heron hovers over feasts
waiting to seize men's wits;
that bird's feathers fettered me
when I came to Gunnlod's court.
Stanza 13 of the Hávamál
So it wasn’t the mead that caused it, it was the mind-stealing heron — riiight. I can relate.
