Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age Weapons Discovered with Large Skeletons in New York

Spoked burial is found in numbers in both New York Ohio Valley and in Wiltshire, near Stonehenge.  Many times the skeletons are described as "gigantic."  This type of burial would have required that the skeletons be placed in the mound at the same time.  The only conclusion is that they were slain in a military conflict.  Note in the burial above that a few of the skeletons have their head placed between their knees.  These must have been placed in the mound to serve as slaves in the afterlife.
