What is recorded here

Cremation burials in Tullybrick date to the Bronze Age, when fire turned flesh to ash and bones to powder before burial. The heat did not destroy the person; it changed the person into something the earth could keep without rotting. Perhaps a family stood beside the flames and watched the shape they knew become smoke, then silence, then a small jar of white markers. They believed the dead still belonged to the field, the sky and the memory of the living.
