There'd be bodies no matter what they died of, unless they were chopped into pieces or cremated or whatever.
Britons are descended from the Beaker people, not the builders of Stonehenge

They cremated the dead until the Beaker people which is why there are almost no ancient remains to derive DNA from and why the genome of the ancient Britons is speculative. There were many burials at Stonehenge but no bodies (except for one single Saxon one that happened millennia later)
I don't find cremation appealing either, actually less appealing than burial! Freezing for posterity might be the best choice!
The entire U.K. must have been dug up to arrive at that conclusion!

You mean just like how they cremated Cheddar Man?
Do you realise that Britain is dotted with long barrows and burial mounds, where the Neolithic people buried their dead?
I'm aware that they are full of cremated remains. Do they have a lot of skeletons?
You just told me that Cheddar Man is far older than the Neolitiic. Which one is it?
There have been cremated and skeletal remains found at Stonehenge. A batch of skeletons was found in 2001.
Well you said that ancient Britons cremated their dead before the Beaker people arrived. Some were cremated but many, many weren't, as Cheddar Man and all those long barrows and burial mounds show. At least 46 Neolithic skeletons have been found at West Kennet long barrow alone. That was a Neolithic burial chamber for a thousand years.

No, you told ME that they were un-related. You are telling me now that they weren't? Did black guys build Stonehenge, after all?

Will a "pict"ure do?
They can analyze what they died of.
Welcome to the age of the carbon tax
