Thousands of years from now, Alien archaeologists might start their digs on those very same sites and conclude that we turned our back on technology and went back to primitive times.

And then they'll be sad to have missed their chance at catching such easy prey for their petting zoos and circuses (and/or their meat lockers). :)

Blimey, is Butser still going?

(Yes, obviously: since 1972 according to their website link – "Work started on a trial site known as Little Butser in 1972 and the first public Open Day was in 1974".)

I remember that chickens there were scratching by the doors of the buildings and seeing that solved a long standing archeological fight over the symbolic or religious nature of the shallow pits around the door posts.
