Fascinating disccussion therein about the MESOlithic occupants of Brittany and Portugal accumulating huge shell middens. In which they apparently buried some few of their relatives. Page 83: "This surprisingly sophisticated practice of collective burial lies at the beginning of a tradition that was to flourish in the region over the next two thousand years, later manifesting itself in monumental megalithic tombs."
