It was probably just a beloved pet or companion, so they decided to bury it with her, and have a BBQ at the same time...
That's bad English; it means the woman was 1400 years old when she died and they buried her with a cow. It should read "The 1400 year old skeleton of a woman buried with a cow..."
LOL! 1789, that was the year that one of my ancestors emigrated from Pendleton County to Harrison County in Virginia (now West Virginia). You could have put his name on it.
I think it would be fun to buy some of those cheap, made in China, flint arrow heads that they sell in cheesy souvenier shops and toss them around historical sites.
A loving husband buried his wife and her mother in the same plot.
None of you have any imagination. The woman was wealthy, and had made some power plays in the village that her rival didn’t like. So some spoiled milk was made a part of of some tragedy, probably food poisoning, and the milk was traced back to the cow, and the cow belonged to the woman, so the cow and the woman were buried alive to punish the “witchcraft.” And in that way, the dead woman’s rival was able to pass the first EPA milk safety laws that eventually led to Britain rejecting football for soccer, gutting their navy, and letting the Muslims install sharia law.
Bovinacea?
When the milkmaid died, nobody else wanted to take care of that cow.
Yes. Good for her! She’s FINALLY achieved her “15 seconds of fame!”.

... for your consideration. Hugs, Mom
its called COWPOX /s
DNA tests show that the woman is a direct ancestor of Rachel Madcow.
Maybe she screwed up somehow and got the family cow killed.
This is a message to the other cow herders not to mess up.
Pretty effective I’d say. We are talking about it thousands of years later.

Yeah, little missy.
You're going with the next cow in your care that dies.
LOL!
The only person who didn’t think it bizarre was mooch-elle (who felt somehow oddly attracted to it).
