Cannibal Theory Over Early Briton
Author: Judith Burns Source: BBC News
Title: CANNIBAL THEORY OVER EARLY BRITON
A fragment of bone from a Devon cave may hint at cannibalism by early Britons, according to archaeologists.
Researchers say the 9,000-year-old bone carries cut marks made by a stone tool which are consistent with the act of dismemberment.
Scientists believe the bone is evidence that Britons from the Mesolithic period engaged in complex burial rituals and possibly cannibalism.
Human remains from this period are extremely rare in Britain.

Another one of these...
Dismemberment does not equal cannibalism. This story has no proof of it at all; only supposition. Excarnation (taking apart, then exposing the body to the elements) has and still is practiced by many cultures since ancient times. Jumping to quick conclusions with little evidence does no good at all.
