The one that makes the most sence is that they believed the dead was still a part of their home and the body deserved to stay in its home so they could be still part of the same family., In some cases the skeletens were found with the skull missing. These could have been used in ritual, as some were found in other areas of the “honey comb”. Some skulls were plastered and painted with ocher to recreate human-like faces, this shows…
