Life was cheap and even young people were used up until they died. Sad.
& so they are
There's a site in the Delta where the human remains include men, women, and children, the adults being all different ages, and they were just slaughtered and piled into the building, the result being that the perishable parts of the structure are gone, and the death assemblage (riot of remains) is piled in the box made from the lowest part of the wall (brick or stone) or foundation. There's no record of it of course, so who they were and why it took place remains mysterious.
