Renegadebiscuitface gave me the idea

ctrl v, what is yours?

Mine is:

Barrow (noun) a large mound of earth or stones placed over a burial site.

Yet is this really all there is to it? Is a Barrow nothing more than a heap of earth and stone placed over a burial? Maybe that is all it was, a means of returning the dead to nature, after all this is not unlike our own modern burial practices in the western world. However there is a flaw to this idea.

If a barrow was nothing more than a burial, why are there so few of them? The British Isles are rich in Neolithic barrows, but there is no way that these contain the entirety of the Neolithic population that would have required them. Added to this is the bizarre fact that the majority of the burials when studied have proven to be the burials of men. Since clearly the Neolithic was not full of asexual men one has to wonder where are the all the women and children? The fact that their presence is little to none in the preserved record makes it obvious that these barrows were definitely not as simple as just a burial.

So if there was more to it than that, what was it all about? The truth is we will never fully know what was the thought process and the reason behind barrows, as Ray, K 1999 writes “The place of death and burial in the world-view of prehistoric societies is only indirectly knowable today because we have no written accounts or observations to draw upon†As a result of this we can only speculate and the speculations regarding Neolithic barrows is vast.


...D: have part of my essay?

Hur .

 

if you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
if you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
if you get 11-20, you are normal.
if you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
people who don’t have any are full of crap.
Tag 10 of your friends and find out whether or not they suffer paranoia.
