What is this lesson about?
Burials from prehistoric times give insight into how people lived during that period. They had different ways of burying dead people, varying from simple graves or urns to elaborate megalithic tombs. Sometimes the dead person would have grave goods with him. Grave goods indicate the status a person had in society. When a grave was large and filled with many gifts, it means that this person must have been important during his life.
