Nobody ever reads HP Lovecraft or watches a George Romero flick.

...where WERE those groups dedicated to futzing up the busybodies trying to dig up their ancestor's bits?

I can't see 9000 people coming together for 90 days or so, in a society that maintained 25-30 people in a group, to bury someone.

Just saying.

They didn't live in small nomadic groups, they lived in towns with houses and governments. The towns were typically part of larger settlements, and they had large annual gatherings for trade and celebration and whatnot. They also farmed, mostly corn, beans, squash, and tomatoes. It was a pretty densely-populated area, pre-pandemic.

I'm just going by the article.  I don't know shit about their culture, to be frank (and obvious).

Ohhhh, OK. I didn't read the whole article but if it was talking about hunter-gatherers being mound builders, it was shit.

Maybe it was their version of the superbowl?

Hahaha

Actually, the deal is basically that the mound-builders weren't hunter-gatherers, they were horticulturalists, so if the article was saying that they were hunter-gatherers, the author just plain didn't do their research.

The author was quoting some yahoo.  Half of paleontologists seem to have their head up it...I mean, I was watching this one history channel thing about neandrathals, and the jackass was saying "And we really have no idea why they hog-tied their dead"...Have these people never put "catatonic fit" and "George Romero" together? 

So Alley Oop has a fit, and they bury him.  2 days later, he wakes up and walks out of the burial cave, so everyone sticks spears in him for a bit, then ties him up so he fucking STAYS buried this time, then tosses him back in the cave.  Then they tie up everyone else that dies, just to be safe.  Word gets around, soon EVERYONE is doing it.
