But what if there were no dead , as is often the case in BA barrows and sometimes earlier Neolithic barrows ?


I guess that wouldn't have always been apparent though. You might assume the presence of bodies in a barrow, even if there aren't any.


Not if you belonged to a culture that for millenia would recognise that many barrows and deposition sites did not have human remains in them .
