Whereas the burial of a revered cheiftain/hero/elder etc might be accompanied by grave goods. The burial was in plain sight, not with an intention to hide anything but to honour the person by leaving them the objects. For an extreme example, I think the pyramids would be a pretty big "X marks the spot", yet the occupants were buried with lavish amounts of what most people would consider "treasure".


Clever clogs...that's just what I was trying to say only a whole lot clevererer...
