The bodies were buried nearby....almost like these were tombstones. Have to read more to find what they found at the bottom of these collection devices.

How is it that I’ve almost made it to 63 years of life without ever hearing about these “Jars of the Dead”?
It’s enormously morbid and fascinating, in an Anthropological way. The Pharaohs got pyramids, lined with gold and precious stones, while the poor got a big clay jar; one jar for an entire village in many cases.

Supposedly the most heavily bombed place on earth.

“Between 1964 and 1973, the Plain of Jars was heavily bombed by the U.S. Air Force (see Secret War) operating against North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao communist forces. The U.S. Air Force dropped more bombs on Laos, primarily the Plain of Jars, than it dropped during the whole of World War II.”

Every house has a stone crock in the ground. Anything that is a vegetable stem, peel, husk, etc.... is chopped up and put in the crock. It’s like a continuous fermenting pickle barrel. I first experienced this in rural Japan during an extended stay trip to a project at a factory.

Local legends include a story that the enormous stone jars were made by giants, who used the vessels to brew rice beer to celebrate a victory in war.

Sounds like the stories of the Easter Island statues. In fact, those jars have a familial resemblance to the Easter Island statues in their style.
