*Bones found at a prehistoric burial site indicate they belonged to 
victims of an ancient massacre, say scientists.*

Remains of 14 people were discovered at Wayland's Smithy, near Uffington 
White Horse, Oxfordshire, in the 1960s.

Latest techniques date the bones at between 3590 BC and 3560 BC, and 
have led experts to believe the people may have died in a Neolithic Age 
massacre.
