How about the use of barrows as tripping chambers. There is a reasonable amount of evidence that caves were used to experiment with mushrooms and psycadelic plants, but what if there arn't any caves close by??? MAKE SOME!

It makes sense that barrows and things would be used before they became houses for the dead. This is why I have a problem with the dates put on burial chambers and stone monuments. Basing the age of something on the age of the corpse inside seems a bit silly to me; you could bury me in my house, it wouldnt make this Victorian house 28years old!


Good point...now I hope you're not lying about your age?? heh heh
