This just occurred to me. Now having a better understanding of the bowmen's ancestral origins, I wonder if the style of burial does indeed reflect the collectivist habit of Megalithic farmers?
In the comments of that Eurogenes post, Olalde himself confirmed a likely 3rd degree relation. So we might reasonably guess that the person who dug this grave was more similar to peoples found in the lower left quadrant. If so, their views on death and burial might be reflected in this grave.
And who dug this grave? In my imagination I see the mother of some of these boys, but who knows.
Who was she and what were her beliefs? I2416's plotting is instructive.
