Question

Why do you think the dead were buried with burial goods?

Answer 1

The dead were buried with burial goods such as tools, ornaments, pottery, etc. This was because of the following reasons:
1.The early human beings believed in after-life. It was their belief that the dead would have a smooth after-life with their personal possessions present in the grave.
2.The burial goods were also given as a sacrifice to the ancestors.
3. This discouraged the reuse of the possessions by other people.
