BBC News : UK's 'oldest' open-air cemetery discovered in Somerset

BBC said:
Recent radiocarbon dating of two skulls found at a sand quarry in Greylake nature reserve near Middlezoy in 1928 revealed them to be 10,000 years old.
...
The new findings show that by around 8,300 BC, hunter-gatherers were burying their dead on what was once an island amid the Levels.

All the other human remains from this early period in Britain have been found in caves such as Aveline's Hole in Somerset which is the largest Mesolithic burial ground in the UK.

The cemetery is situated a stone's throw away from the Glastonbury in Somerset , one of Britain's most mystical ancient site. It is roughly 50 miles south of Bristol or Cardiff, and 50 miles west of Stonehenge. This is an intriguing location. It makes me wonder whether it was the descendants of these Mesolithic Britons who built Stonehenge, or Neolithic newcomers from the continent, or a hybrid society of both populations. The Neolithic site of Treilles in Languedoc, which dates from the Megalithic period, was almost purely Near-Eastern in its Y-DNA (G2a). Megalithic sites have been found as far as the Black Sea region, hinting that the culture could have originated from there. But is it a coincidence that the wave of Neolithic farmers chose a region already long settled by indigenous hunter-gatherers to build Stonehenge and other sites ? I believe that is is a sign of pacific blending between the two groups. DNA will tell in time.
