Talk:Burnt mound

[Untitled]

I am confused about this. You are duplicating information that is already in the Fulacht fiadh article. Is your plan to eventually merge these, or do you feel that there is enough of a distinction between the two that they deserve separate articles? --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Fulacht fiadh is a term that is specific to Ireland, while the burnt mounds are found widely across Britain and other parts of Northern Europe. However, the term burnt mound is also used for similar material that is not associated with troughs, particularly in Orkney. I found a stub article on burnt mounds which had sketchy information of little value, so I decided to develop it, putting in more useful information and references. If someone wants to amalgamate the articles, fine, but I'm not proposing to do so. -- Iain1917 19:59, 22 October 2006

Two things came to mind while reading about this.

One is the simularity to Native American sweat lodges used for cerimonial and clensing purposes. The process of heating the rocks then pouring water on them creates the steam and causes the rock to shatter. Due to your very close proximity to the fire turning your head to avoid the direct blast of steam and flying slivers of rock is a very wise idea.

The other is a place in Alberta called "head bashed in buffalo jump" which is a place that for a very long time the hunters ran the animals off of a cliff then butchered the remains on the site. Large areas of fractured rock are found at was probably the cooking site.

Sweat lodges have an article in Wikperdia Head Bashed In is harder to find web information on.
