"Did the religious and ritual aspects of Neolithic life follow any sort of 'logic'?"

That's a very good point well made is it not. Doubtless they did have their internal logic, in that they fitted into culturally shared ideas of obviousness and how things are / were / will be. And you'd need to send an anthropologist back through time to sort through it. What's logical to us isn't necessarily going to be what was logical to them. Modern religion isn't terribly logical at the best of times either is it. (I can't help think of Riddley Walker and the completely 'wrong' (alternative?) interpretation of a mural about St Eustace in the ruined Canterbury Cathedral).
