"The burial mound was outside the city walls in a field dotted with cow pies and large stones.  The stones had been arranged geometrically in patterns that were supposed to mean something to the gods.   Presumably, the cow pies had fallen at random, although then, as now, the division between what is random in nature and what is purposeful was extremely difficult to determine."
