In the several months at the beginning of the project, every hour was a learning experience for everyone. The mistakes, and the repeating mistakes, numbered in the dozens every day. Mistakes were made at the quarry, that was nearly two walking days away, at the campground at Durrington mistakes were made on the mounting and the pulling of the beast, or on the earth excavation where its grave would be, earth that took weeks to move, was moved again and relocated. At each site, an image was forming slowly, by all Elders and work masters, of what the completed project would look like.
In those first months, it seemed at times that three to five bosses would be present at each of the three areas of the project, and that most of the time they were in disagreement. Workers' limbs would be crushed and severed under rock with regularity. The frequent rains and endless mud made the slow progress of the pulling and the pushing of stones, and of the beast, demoralizing to all. The Southwest tribe was encamped just over 3 kilometers away from the Durrington camp. It was designated the tribe to support the lives of all Beaker people working on the project. The men hunted all of the meat for three tribes and in the last year of the project had killed all local wildlife and had to travel many miles to hunt. They also patrolled the many miles surrounding the project to keep strangers away, often deceiving them, and diverting them around the entire region. They planted nearly twenty fields, and doing so efficiently, frequently became an important matter of discussion among the Elders of each tribe. When a Southwest tribe member was not needed for sustenance work, he or she joined the project, at either the great hole, or at the giant saucer.
The Eastern Sea tribe having over 500 more members than each of the other two tribes, had two tasks: the first was to move the beast over 4 kilometers; the second was to dig a tremendous hole the depth of a pine trees' height, for the silver bird to be entombed. In a place where the many Beaker peoples had found and cut their hardest and heaviest stones for tools, a working quarry was created to cut and transport the largest stones to the excavation site, near what is now known as Amesbury, nearly 27 kilometers away. It was the toughest, most labor-intensive and longest lasting component of the project. Transporting one of the many long, and largest stones, required nearly 200 men, women, and often children, and about six months time in the challenging conditions.
It was amazing to the Beaker people the accomplishments they could achieve when driven by fear and terror. Many techniques were invented and used to move the behemoth rocks, to cut the stones to specification, to move the stones, to make miles of rope as thick as a fist and of lengths of up to 90 meters, to cut down hundreds of trees and remove the stumps of dozens, to dig-out boulders and roll them aside, to dig a deep grave for a thing the size and weight of a small lake of water, to move that thing over rolling grades of rocky earth and through mud as deep as a person’s knees were high, and to do so for kilometers and for months that dragged-on miserably for years.
