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 .


Yeah, that's true. But it still might not be apparent whether a particular barrow had a body in it, even if you knew that some did and some didn't. Unless there's an obvious way of knowing?
