UK researchers took a good look at what people living in Bronze Age Britain did with the remains of their fellow humans.<br />According to CNN, a new study suggests they kept human remains as relics and even crafted them into musical instruments.<br />In the most striking example, the team found that a 3,700-year-old human thigh bone had been made into a musical instrument similar to a whistle.<br />Later, the bone was buried in a man's grave near Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, southwestern England.<br />While fragments of human bones were buried, they were also kept in the homes of the living, buried under house floors, and even placed on display.<br />This suggests that Bronze Age people did not view human remains with the sense of horror or disgust that we might feel today.
