（单词翻译）

There’s one of the surprises. The Beaker Culture had its Bronze-age heyday1 in the Alps, not in England. Researchers did chemical analysis of the remains3 and found that the archer2 most likely came from what is now Switzerland. Next surprise? Another grave was found nearby, this containing a younger man. This fellow grew up in England, but an unusual foot bone shows he’s related to the archer–the archer, it seems, came to England and raised a family. Who was this foreigner who was treated with such reverence4? We won’t ever know for sure. His fame has disappeared into history. But the stone circle he may have built has never been forgotten, even four thousand years later.
