An article from the Guardian

Blick Mead, near Stonehenge, where a charred toad's leg was found.  I'm gonna make a review about a post from the Guardian. It talks about an archaeological discovery near Stonehenge, in England, a site caled Blick Mead, that belongs to the Mesolithic era. 
  What's interesting about this finding, in first place, is that it's contains rests of frog's legs, that were consumed as food. The important thing is that this specific food always had been considered as something that firs appeared in France, but this rests are much older that the older rests ever founded in France!
  Well, actually that not the most important part, but is how the article begins. Obviously the importance of an archaeological site is more than that. The site contains evidence of a lot of types of food, like frog's legs, that hadn't been associated with the period that the site belongs. It is also the oldest site, that belongs to Mesolithic, with a continuous using. 
  Also it seems that this particular site was very important in the past, in part for the high amount of food founded, but also because it appears that the site was used for over 3000 years, so whoever used it was very interested in keep using it.
Archaeologists says, due to the apparent importance that people in the past gave to the site, that it could be the cause of Stonehenge to exist where it is: it had to be something really special about the place where it was built, and Bleak Mead could be involved in that. They even think that this site could represent the most important and old discovery ever found in the country for the Mesolithic.
