Sloppy. With the all the microscopic analyses of wounds, I was surprised that they had not undertaken genetic analyses to determine how or even if the buried persons were related to each other.

I think this is the burial ground associated with a large settlement that was covered by a terminal ash layer (rich with spearheads and arrowheads) representing the burning of the settlement to the ground and its extinction. So, yeah. :^)
