Excerpt
‘... The memory throws up high and dry A crowd of twisted things ; A twisted branch upon the beach Eaten smooth, and polished As if the world gave up The secret of its skeleton...’ T. S. Eliot, Rhapsody on a Windy Night

Often referred to as ‘ritual killing’, the act of disabling is believed to have taken place at the burial site and assumed, variously, to have been intended to enable the weapons to accompany the dead (Åström 1972: 274-275; see also Myers 1914: 472)...
