"Whether it's a hedgehog or a pig you can argue about, but I like the
hedgehog idea myself," said the dig's co-leader, Joshua Pollard of the
University of Bristol. The Bronze Age figurine was likely made as a
toy or in memory of the baby being stillborn or dying in infancy, the
archaeologist said. The discovery was made during the Stonehenge
Riverside Project, a seven-year archaeological investigation of the
Stonehenge area supported by the National Geographic Society's
Committee for Research and Exploration. (National Geographic News is
