More than 3,000 human bones and bone fragments were unearthed in a hamlet in Somerset .

They were first discovered in a 15m -deep shaft in the 1970s and represent at least 37 individuals - a mix of men, women and children.

Analysis of human remains dating back to 2500BC indicates that dozens of people were killed, butchered and consumed during a very violent incident.
