| Also the Guardian... a bit of defleshing as well.... "One of the most striking monuments to emerge from the survey was a 33 metre-long burial mound containing a massive wooden building whose timber foundations – and a giant upright blocking its entrance – were spotted in the soil. Predating Stonehenge, the building is thought to have been a house of the dead where bizarre burial rituals were played out. "The rituals included exposure of the dead bodies, and defleshing on a large forecourt," said Wolfgang Neuber, at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute. The house was later covered in chalk and finally became a curious white landmark." http://www.theguardian.com/sci[...]s-shrines-archaeology-research The article gives a dozen images of what has been found, but not on the online version, which is a shame..
