It doesn't suprise me. I'm just glad that it is not practised today.

<<This was a highly structured deposit that can only have got there as a result of some form of ritual activity>>

Any ideas what the ritual could have been?

Actually, I think you can find evidence of cannabilism more recent than 2000 years ago.....probably within the last 200 years.....

Yeah, some tribes in the amazon eat their relatives when they die. It is a suspected cause of human CJD.

arent there still Cannibal tribes in like the Amazon and other tropical forests

Whats CJD?

CJD.. I don't remember exactly but it's a disease like Kuru, no? Kinda like madcow disease for humans. A prion disease that can only be contracted by eating other human brains.
<edit> Not just brains is it? Just any of the infected body?</edit>
