I speculated a bit about the bones and votive offerings. Much like today's people throwing pennies into wishing wells...I'd think such things might be typical finds.
But the bodies? Was it typically just 1 body?
That's what had me thinking of quickly disposed of murder victims.
Either way, what alot of trouble to take as a burial or offering.
My practical side says a hole that deep is only going to be dug for a well.
Also another question comes to mind...did the body have any sort of special back fill on top of it {IE; stones} before the tons of clay and dirt?
That would certainly indicate a purposeful internment.
This is a curious subject and the first I've gotten to hear of it.
