	Tumulus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tumulus (plural tumuli or tumuluses) is a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves.
		Tumuli are also known as barrows, burial mounds or kurgans and can be found throughout much of the world.
		During the 19th century in England the excavation of tumuli was a popular pastime amongst the educated and wealthy middle classes who became known as "barrow-diggers".

		Certain types of features, such as tumuli, lava rises and lava rise pits, are indicators of flow inflation or endogenous growth of a lava flow.
		Tumuli in particular have been identified as possible indicators of tube location, indicating that their distribution on the surface of a lava flow is a junction of the internal pathways of lava present during flow emplacement.
		Since tumuli form by the injection of lava beneath a crust, the distribution of tumuli on a flow should represent the distribution of thermally preferred pathways beneath the surface of the crust.

		Tumuli and sheet flows have recently been found in submarine lava flow fields.
		Tumuli form as the interior of the flow inflates.
		The presence of tumuli and long sinuous ridges on submarine lava flow fields suggests that lava tubes help distribute the lava.

		The 33 tumuli which were excavated in Nidhri and are known as tumuli R, constitute a cemetery used about the end of the EH II (seven tumuli) and during the EH III period.
		The tumulus which presents similarities with the tumuli R is the one examined in the area of the New Museum of Olympia (Pelopeio).
		The tumuli excavated in the area Altis of Olympia, in Lerna IV and in Thebes (Ampheion) and date to the end of the EH II have a different construction from the burial ones.

		As to the four tumuli added to those discovered by Thompson by the METU Phrygian Necropolis Project, these include the twin hills north of the way from the Eskişehir highway to the Çiftlik centre and the one, north of the İstanbul highway at the junction of the road leading to the Zoo inside the Çiftlik.
		The skirt of the only example among the Phrygian tumuli in Ankara which have survived in magnificence and unsurveyed was recently devastated during an extension work on the Konya highway for the construction of a station building within the scope of the Ankara Underground Project.
		A chronology may be proposed for the four tumuli excavated by METU and for those previously excavated in Ankara on the basis of a comparative study of findings with those recovered from the Gordion tumuli.

		Cheju does not have the impressive tumuli of either Seoul or Kyongju, where Korea's great dynasties once ruled, but all around the island the visitor will see small collections of low mounds enclosed by walls of volcanic rock.

		The Isle of Pines, New Caledonia is spangled with about 400 large tumuli or mounds, ranging from 30 to 165 feet in diameter.
		The larger tumuli enclose a block of tuff, about 5 feet high and 6 feet in diameter, comprised of tumuli material held together by a calcareous cement or mortar.
		Some who have investigated these mounds believe that the presence of cement, presumably man-made, is proof-positive that the tumuli are the product of human activity.

	Megaliths of Carnac: homepage
		The most famous megaliths of Carnac are the Menec, Kermario, Kerlescan and Petit Menec alignments of thousands of standing stones just north of Carnac on the south coast of Brittany between the Quiberon Peninsula and the Gulf of Morbihan.
		This was obviously a very important Stone Age centre and many dolmen (stone passages or galleries), stone circles (cromlechs), standing stones (menhirs), tumuli (barrows), and alignments are scattered over the entire region.
		All photographs were taken by myself, during trips to the megaliths of Carnac in 1980, 1983, 1994, 1998, and 2002.
