I have to ask:

Why are science/archaeology threads showing up in the GOP Club forum?

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Blam. The change in the burial method indicates a change in the ideology or religion of the people. The cremation of the dead is tied with people's belief in the existence of the soul. [10,000 years from now] The prevalence of narrow-necked glass bottles indicates a change in ideology or religion, tied with people's belief in the existence of refreshment.

Thanks blam. Interesting read.

A few years ago I purchased a book titled: The Age of Stonehenge by Colin Burgess – “The History of Britain and Ireland between 3,000 and 1,000 BC…(he) provides a coherent slice of prehistory in a fresh and accessible way”

I wouldn’t necessarily say it was an “accessible” and certainly not a “lite” read unless you are, like some of us folks; willing to spend hours reading about burial mounds, barrows, cinerary vs. food urns, collared urns vs. bucket shaped vessels, Beaker, Meldon Bridge and Mount Pleasant periods.

I’m not sure as stated in this article, how cremation of the dead is tied with people's belief in the existence of the “soul”. It would seem that skeletal burials, especially those containing important grave goods could also be an indication of belief in some sort of afterlife or at least the veneration of the dead. Your thoughts?
