Ok, suppose there were a long barrow that had escaped the attention of over-enthusiastic clerics and assorted antiquarians and had remained intact and undug. What would we hope to find by excavation there that would further our understanding of the prehistoric? DNA, of course, but what else?


Not sure what your'e suggesting .There are quite a lot of them . East Kennet being the most obvious . DNA and tooth enamel , if the chamber(s) was really secure like the recent results from Prisse La Chariere would be good but I think there is a chance that most arcaheologists would be happy to leave things as they are for future generations and technological advances .
