[Stones] Stonehenge Decoded?

[Ric]

oops?
 
my point is merely that burials beneath houses, stretches back to the earliest neolithic period - Catal Huyuk - and this may have had some bearing on later neolithic practises, further afield
 
i do not see that approving or disapproving anything, comes into such an observation: but what is wrong with approving or not approving of theories: presumably a healthy climate of debate is also the hallmark of an open and free society?
 
Catal Huyuk is an immensely important neolithic site, and i shall no doubt return to it, over and over again

<<yea>>
It seems you are not familiar with Hebridean archaeology. It is unnecessary to raise matters such as Catal Huyuk to demonstrate the possibility of intramural burials - since we have lots of examples of (contemporaneous) intramural burials (of animals and animal parts) in the Iron Age in the Uists themselves. It is entirely conceivable that humans remains could have been buried under houses there in the Bronze Age. That is really not the point at issue here. 
Given the disappointing style of your response however, I am disinclined to discussing the matter further

B seems to me rather more likely ... to say the very least. And
