This table, while useful, doesn't really match the style of the other entries.
Also, and perhaps more importnatly, under the entry for Glauberg, the Era is marked: Early Celtic Age. I am afraid that I have no idea what is meant by this. I am not one of these "The celts did not exist" people, but assuming there is validity to the concept of a prehistoric Celtic Identity, it would have spanned the Late Bronze age to the Late Iron Age (and possibly earlier). To that end, I don't quite get the reference... could someone make this more specific to a generally accepted prehistoirc period?
There is a similar problem with the entry for Grave fields, Young Stone Age... is that Neolithic?
Many thanks and good work. 75.170.51.229 ( talk) 20:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
To say the least we have banshees, "queens of the barrows"... There are bound to be others... Why there's no mention of them?
In response to anonymous editor on 28 January 2006 "130.13.147.5":
Here's the relevant list:
It is renowned archaeologist Gabriel Barkay who has made the association between these tumuli & the Biblical text. Note that all 21 were not necessarily honored with tumuli, & not necessarily all tumuli survived the past 2,500 years-- Funhistory 03:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I added parenthetical remarks by Jehoram (#7) & Zedekiah (#21) since the Biblical record suggests these 2 kings did not receive a tumulus ceremony; it's just a coincidence that there were 19 Judean kings who ruled in Jerusalem, & 19 tumuli near Jerusalem.-- Funhistory 04:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Korea holds much of East Asian Tumulus and special attention is needed. --Korsentry 01:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanSentry ( talk • contribs)
Hi,
I just wanted to inform the editors of this page, that a photo of a tumulus in Denmark has just been featured on Commons. I am not terribly knowledgable about tumuli, but thought that it could be relevant for inclusion in this article. In case it is considered relevant for inclusion here, I might try to nominate it for featured picture here as well. As the creator I feel biased, and I would rather prefer if an independent editor would decide for possible inclusion.

How about Krakus Mound and some others listed in pl:Kurhan? 149.156.201.210 ( talk) 08:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
I am suggesting the merge of Kurgan to Tumulus since they are covering the same concept. Kurgan is just another word for the same idea. There is a lot of redundancy in the two articles and quite some confusion because of this in the related articles. If the tumulus article becomes too large, it can be nicely broken down by different cultures, locations etc. as in Sarmatian Tumuli, Thracian Tumuli, Bulgarian Tumuli etc. -- Codrin.B ( talk) 19:05, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
I would have to disagree with a merge. Tumulus is as I understand it, a general term for burial mounds everywhere while Kurgan is a cultural term refering to the people of Haplogroup R1 who were the earliest users of this type if inhumation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.5.20.194 ( talk) 11:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
User Joyalazzo has taken it upon his/her self to Americanize the English here, and add a tag saying the article uses US English. In fact the early versions were in British English, and indeed only covered English tumuli. No American spelling was introduced until this diff , adding to a reasonably long article. As far as I can see the version of English used has never been discussed, & should remain British English according to WP:ENGVAR. I have reverted to the previous rather mixed state.

The section including India and Pakistan is labelled 'Aegean and Near East'. Under no-one's definition are India and Pakistan 'the Near East'. They aren't even 'the Middle East'. I suggest grouping India and Pakistan as 'South Asia' in the same way as China, Korea and Japan are 'East Asia', and including Greece, Turkey and the Levant as 'Eastern Mediterranean'.

I came to 'tumulus' from looking for barrows, as I'm researching burial mounds in Roman Britain. As 'tumulus' is a latin word and might be thought particularly appropriate for (Antique) Roman burial mounds, it's interesting or perhaps odd that there's no real discussion of them - the mention of /info/en/?search=Six_Hills being the only example I could see. There seem however to be more than 20, perhaps as many as 26, Roman barrows or barrow-groups in Southern and Eastern Britain, with other know barrows no longer visible (eg 4 destroyed barrows near the 3 surviving ones at /info/en/?search=Bartlow_Hills.
I don't know anything about Roman barrows outside of Britain however, though there doesn't seem to be much information on them here; if anyone knows of information on Roman-period barrows in other locations I suggest we start to compile it. Markaeologist ( talk) 13:35, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
I don't know much about barrows in other parts of the world but propose at least to tidy up the British section. 1 - Square Barrows are overwhelmingly found in East Yorkshire and associated with the chariot-burials of the 'Arras Culture'; there doesn't seem to be a wiki for these which is I think a bit of an oversight, they're one of the most spectacular parts of the Iron Age in mainland Britain, so I propose to start rectifying that; 2 - there's no mention of Roman tumuli in Britain despite there being more than 20 known examples; 3 - the list of 'notable examples' goes Neolithic (c. 5,000ybp), Anglo-Saxon (c. 1,500ybp), Bronze Age (c. 4,000ybp) - a more sensible organisation would probably be Neolithic - Bronze Age - (addition of at least 1 Iron Age barrow, c. 3,000byp) - (addition of at least 1 Roman example, c. 2,000ybp) - Anglo-Saxon; this would involve adding two notable barrows or groups and re-ordering the table chronologically.
