    I totally agree, especially given that "forensic Anthropology" nay Forensics as we know it, is only just over a hundred years old, Professor Keith Simpson ( Born: 20 July 1907, Brighton ,, Died: 21 July 1985). Who was inspired by Bernard Spilsbury being the pioneer, I do believe. I think the way these scientists , like Sue Black , are advancing leaps and bounds with modern technology and computers is nothing short of fantastic.

    In the US we have commercials with TV shows thrown in every few minutes. Not really but thats exactly how it looks and it got way worse during the pandemic.. The companys know more people are pretty much forced to sit in front of the things out of complete boredom so they're going to try to make a buck off this horrible thing. It wouldn't be America if someone didn't try to profit from others misfortune...thats why I don't bother watching TV anymore for any reason, only KZread shows. It got to be so annoying that I really couldn't deal with it no longer. So I just ignore the Televisions in my house and rely on my KZread channels. Lot less stress that way. And I've learned so many things things in 2020 because of it. Thanks to all the people within channels that have probably really helped keep me sane all these months. Its 1/1/21 now hopefully this will be a better year.🙏

    If the bones are not articulated it often comes down to educated guesswork. This amount of individuals is quite managable. It also comes down to basic locig. Easy example: A human only has 1 right leg. So if you have 2 right upper thigh bones, ther MUST have been two individuals. The size (or more profecionally the robustness) of the bones make it possible to associate the bones with skulls of certain genders and ages. I don't know the in-situ situation of this case but they seem to have been at least somewhat articulated.

    My first thought was, if the family was thought to have a disease, a plague of some sort...perhaps the village decided the infected family had to be killed. Going out of your way to take all the bodies any distance to toss down a very deep hole would make sense. The trauma could easily be from the males fighting back. Plus the additional trauma from being dropped into the cave.

    The hot air from the cave might have been a draw on the cold Yorkshire moors. It’s quite possible some may have decided to live or at least winter there. One family member goes venturing and disappears others go looking for them and also also disappear. As someone said earlier the four deaths could have happened over a couple of hundred years. Random people wandering through the caves and following into the same trap.

    I used to live near a windy cave. It was also a really narrow shaft with constant 20-25°C air blowing out, but since outside it was 40°C during the summer the cool air of the cave was a major draw. Caves are dangerous without a light source too. Climb into a cave for warmth, not realize how deep the drop is, accidentally fall and get banged up and be unable to climb out, badly injured and in complete darkness.

    It's a pity that this archaeological site was discovered in the 1950s when archaeology was a bit of a joke and not much better than what Heinrich Schliemann did at Troy. That's probably why the bones were contaminated to the point that separable DNA could not be obtained. Heinrich Schliemann was so ignorant, foolish, and incompetent in his excavations at Troy that he unknowingly dug through and destroyed the very layer of archaeology that he was looking for, the archaeological layer that dated from the time of the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Yet Inuits in the past dealt with psychopaths (called kunlangeta) by pushing them in the icy sea to get rid of them. So the mystery lies in who were the Psychopaths, the people in the gill, or the people/person who despatched them:-)

    I thought when something's been in a certain place for so long the body kind of engraved itself into the dirt or ground it's on so there should be like an imprint of the bodies on their matching tablet to a lot maybe I'm not understanding this I don't know

    Wait, Sue is saying that she didn't expect it to go to ritual killing and sacrifice, but that was at the top of my list when I heard ancient, isolated and not easily fallen into. It would seem to me that the bodies/skeletons would have to have been put there on purpose and while it isn't a given that that purpose would be be ritualistic, it doesn't seem like it should be a surprise.

    I immediately thought of sacrifice as well. Her complete aversion to even thinking about it, plus her very vocal dislike of the subjects of ritual and sacrifice, was very off-putting to me. As an anthropologist she should be open to the fact that both are very well represented in historical cultures all around the world. I think the reason she didn't see the cut marks on the skull until the very end is because she simply didn't want to.

Imagine they found a medieval body which had been on the rack, hung, drawn and quartered. Without the written records such a person would be beating the "it's ritual" drum immediately. When this is known to be how criminals were punished. Why dismiss such brutal punishment deaths in prior ages.

    It's extremely brutal for a sacrificial dead. Somehow I don't believe that it was a ritual dead for this family, I believe they were slaughtered and dropped in this pit. Normally I would think that a sacrifice would be done on 1 person, but 4 people, I have my doubts about this found. As well there talk about other sacrificial dead person there found, but it's always one and not 4.

    Religious rituals - lots of speculation. Let's apply Occam's Razor. A man in the village found out his wife had cheated on him, killed her children, the suspected father and her. Or. One of the earliest gods, at least since agriculture, but likely also in mining cultures, must have been "Mother Earth" - a couple years of failed harvest and mother Earth needed to be pacified/satisfied. Still in recent history, jungle tribes were found (deep in Borneo, IIRC) with extreme "guilt" rituals. When somebody died in the village of tribe A, they marauded village B because somebody in there must have caused the death in village A, generally killing the person with the highest visible anxiety level. Whatever the rituals have been, they were insanely cruel and what is more interesting is how they picked their victims. And let's not forget that we all likely descend from the violent survivors, not the people who got slaughtered.
