New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the

39、 diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England” because of the existence of “bluestones”-the smaller columns of dolerite（辉绿岩）that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pi

40、eces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought.
