The fact that the bones all form part of an articulated skeleton suggests that that this was a deliberate and formal burial. This in turn suggests ritual practice, since animals would have been a valuable resource: to bury a complete cow without defleshing it first, suggests perhaps that it was buried as an offering to the Gods. Although no datable finds came from the pit, it is probably of prehistoric date.”
