Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaeological evidence suggests that some houses in Neolithic settlements were deliberately destroyed as part of a ritual or symbolic act. This may have been a way to mark the end of a particular phase or to create a fresh start. There is no evidence to suggest that the destruction was a result of invaders, family disputes or leadership changes, and it is unlikely that such considerable effort would be expended for a ritual celebrating a birth.
