Answer:
In a megalithic burial, the bones of a dead person were placed in an urn. This urn was buried and surrounded by a circle of large vertical stones. A large horizontal stone formed the capstone. Megalithic burials were away from the occupation area. Grave goods like pottery, ornaments and weapons were also found. Pottery was of black and red variety. Weapons consisted of iron axes, spades and daggers. Ornaments were made of carnelian and gold. Some copper objects were also put in the grave. Sometimes horse skeletons and equipment were also found. The number of grave goods probably depended on the status of the person. The presence of these goods is indicative of their belief in afterlife. Some graves have skeletons of more than one person. This is suggestive that probably people from the same family were buried in the same place. The people who died later were got in through portholes.
