I need sleep. I thought this post was about mysterious Pita.

Swan pelts are a Viking tradition too:

Any chance the pits were egg incubator boxes designed to keep the eggs warm and covered in swan skin and feathers like the mother swan might do. Was there a black-market for swans? Might they have been raised for a profit and not a prophet? The unhatched ones could be the usual duds you get when incubating eggs. The smooth stones could be to store heat and keep the lonely eggs company. It seems more likely to be a mundane hatchery operation than facilities used to commit a reviled crime punishable by death. But then people might not continue to fund the further excavation of a ordinary poultry farm, but witchcraft! that piques the curiosity!

Would we be reading this ‘News’ story from the other side of the world if the headline was “Archaeologist finds 300 year old poultry farm in land that contains more exciting stuff from a lot longer ago”?

Typical modern anthropology school foolishness. Anything their grads don’t understand, they are taught to label as, “ritual”...
