This is amazing. I'm wondering what caused them to die together - was it a romantic story or was it simply two people thrown into a hole and buried there?

I know by the Neolithic Period there were examples of people not only being buried, but having things placed in the grave with the bodies. So, it doesn't seem like a stretch to me to imagine that if two people who cared for each other died at the same time, they might be buried together in a way that expressed their feelings.

However, there are a lot of other possibilities that spring to mind as well. I'm curious what else they find at the site to fill out the story.

Whatever happens, it seems a shame to me that these two would be separated now. So, whatever they do with the remains, I hope they will at least keep them together.

After 6000 years, they're entitled to it :)

It's not morbid....but...there appears to be a few too many leg bones...though that could just be the way they're crossed over each other.

Or...or....perhaps, ala "What Dreams May Come" it's actually the reincarnation of you and Amy! You two are destined for each other, no matter what!
