An old family cemetery sits on a ridge on my land in NC. The graves are marked with rocks at the head and foot. There’s even a monkey buried there that was brought back by a merchant marine member of the family. Years ago, I put a conch shell up there to mess with the future generation.
The conch shell and monkey remains will definitely be a puzzler.
“ shell and monkey bones were buried for ceremonial purposes to mark the solstice… “ will be the learned opinion of archaeologists.
