Personally, I find this rather unsettling. We know cannibalism took place in early enolithic age Germany, but not wide-spread. This occurred before the so-called Indo-European influence, still during the period when everyone was supposedly peaceful, still worshiping the Mother Goddess. So much for that theory.
But this is something else, no famines or wide-spread diseases at this time. Many British Celts were apparently related to northern Gauls, even having the same tribal names. Those in the southwest, like the Silures, were related to the Iberians. But Roman historians have never mentioned cannibalism by the Britons, Celtiberians, or Gauls. I would be cautioned that this gory cave could have been the product of cultism and not a wide-spread practice. At least I hope so.
