（单词翻译）

 Archaeologist S* Carson has investigated the significance of megalith to prehistoric1 peoples. -You can commemorate2 anncestors too, with a standing3 stone. You can also use them to show a person's change of status and that person's ability to mobilize a large label force to raise the stones. And the stones could be used to safeguard a person's future. For example, the stone is used to offer protection over a field of crops.

These three fuctions of standing stones can co-exist on an enormous sideline con*. And it's this symbolic4 use of standing stones that characterizes the Neolithic5 Age 5 to 6,000 years ago.  When the Neolithic Age reached Britain, over one thousand stone monuments were built from Ox to C*. In the Stonehenge region, one of the earliest examples of the ceremonial uses of stone is the West Kennet Burial Chamber6. -We see a whole host of changes accompanying shifts from hunt-gathers in m* to farmers in the Neolithic. And that involved communal7 building projects, like Stonehenge ultimately, but before that, projects like West Kennet.
