How I Want to Be Buried

From the BBC:

Two Bronze Age burial pots containing human remains have been found at the base of a standing stone in Angus. Archaeologists excavated the ground around the Carlinwell Stone at Airlie, near Kirriemuir, after it fell over earlier in the winter.

Both pots - known as collared urns - could be up to 4,000 years old and were typically used in early Bronze age cremation burials. One of the pots is about 4in (10cm) in diameter, and the other is about 8in, the archaeologists said. Melanie Johnson, from CFA Archaeology of Musselburgh, said: "The pots are typical of early Bronze Age cremation burials. People were burned on pyres and their remains gathered, put into pots and buried upside down in a pit."

The 7ft (2.1m) high monolith will be re-erected on Friday.

Oh, the glory of becoming a set of Bronze Age remains at the foot of a standing stone!

I suppose, though, that given how many of us there are in the crowded 21st century, my burial will never be as exciting to future archaeologists as this one is to me.
