Archaeologists have found evidence of mass cannibalism at a 7,000-year-old human burial site in south-west Germany, the journal Antiquity reports.
The authors say their findings provide rare evidence of cannibalism in Europe's early Neolithic period. Up to 500 human remains unearthed near the village of Herxheim may have been cannibalised.

The starting point for this blog is the story of three murderers living in the same country, same period, committing similar crimes. All happened in the 1920's in Germany. The three serial killers are Fritz Haarmann, Carl Grossmann and Karl Denke.
They all slaughtered their victims and sold or exchanged their meat. They were probably cannibals themselves.
