1. What is cremation?
Cremation is a process that uses intense heat to turn the remains of a person who has died into ashes.
Explanation: The cremation process takes place in a specially-designed cremation chamber which holds one deceased person and exposes them to intense heat for a period of around two hours.
2. What are megaliths?
A megalith is a large prehistoric stone that has been used to construct a structure or monument, either alone or together with other stones.
Explanation: Most extant megaliths were erected between the Neolithic period (although earlier Mesolithic examples are known) through the Chalcolithic period and into the Bronze Age.
3. What are microliths?
A microlith is a small stone tool usually made of flint or chert and typically a centimetre or so in length and half a centimetre wide.
Explanation: They were made by humans from around 35,000 to 3,000 years ago, across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The microliths were used in spear points and arrowheads.
