The Project is a joint venture between University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) and National Museums of Scotland (NMS) with the work being lead by excavations Directors Prof Vicki Cummings (UCLan), Dr Hugo Anderson-Wymark (NMS). This summary of the findings, including the Neolithic polished balls was broadcast in 2022.

With no evidence that it is a tomb, we carry on with our narrative that it must be a tomb and all these non-funereal items we found must be related to the dead somehow because we assume it is a tomb. But maybe it isn't?
Mmm, it seems rather uncertain that this is, in fact a tomb. The evidence ( to date ) is unclear and conflicting, stone tools, a cooking site and worked objects could suggest a more domestic use, at some point. To make a definitive statement that this is a tomb demands closer scrutiny and far more research of this intriguing site - weather permitting.
Fascinating though, undoubtedly :)
The architecture of the building is very clearly that of a Neolithic stalled tomb.
Native Americans would encase a polished stone ball in rawhide and attach to a strong stick to make a stone headed war club
That's a very possible answer to what they are
Those stone balls...well there were many prominent features in their world representing the Circle such as the sun and moon, the ever-present horizon and natural shapes such as birds nests. The Cycles of the Seasons also maybe? Or...toys created for kids and while they were playing with them...rolled into the tomb, made another ball, and then lost it too...dang too bad for Pebbles and Bam Bam. And despite silly assertions to the contrary, yes, it's a tomb.
It strikes me (pun intended) that these rounded stones described as "weapons" or even ritual items would make great boiling stones. Hot ash might be easier to brush or shake off a polished stone as smooth as those before dropping it in your food. Food or tea debris might also be easier to clean off a polished boiling stone.
Maybe, it's not a tomb.
True, or even a tomb repurposed for domestic occupation.
It's not a tomb.
I am not an archeologist so have no expertise so i would like to ask, what are the clues or examples that would classify this as a tomb? I am doing my best to not interpret what I'm seeing on a video as anything other than what the experts claim.
Thank you.
Perhaps petanque is an older game than we think?
How old do graves have to be before you can rob them?
if a way to just scoop out the entire site and move it...
They’re not going to try to preserve it?
How about digging in South Wales?
no bones hearth stone tools polished balls domestic pot? doesn't sound like a tomb.
Why not try to protect it??
It's the BBC. Exploit it, don't protect it. Lol
Neolithic bocci?
