Can someone give me a quick rundown on tumuli? Archaeologists seem to classify ancient cultures by how they buried their dead, but aside from cremation I don't really understand how else you can do it that would be so distinctive.

Red ochre, directional alignation, weapons etc

People naturally like to build mounds over their dead. They did it for thousands of years, cremated and whole body burials alike. Some cultures REALLY made serious mounds. But they took an enormous amount of work so usually were only for certain elites.
