This was super interesting! I remember when they reconstructed the park around a church (1600s, so not even that old) in my city the papers tried to make a big deal out of all the bones popping up left and right which was very funny. Re: the brief grave field talk at the end, grave fields are the best honestly. I think my favourite non-Neolithic graves are stone ships (look up Ale’s Stones for a really cool one! esp. aerial photos)
