<p><font face="Verdana">Here is the African again with his
exceptions.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">We have many places here which we call
tombs, they carry the word "tombs" in their English names from
the colonial times.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Most of these tombs, are just traditionally
tafted huts, which contain some artificats which remember us of
the warrior or king they commemorate. Some of them are build,
and rebuild over time (because they are just non-durable tafted
huts), not necessarily on top of a grave or containing any human
remains. Sometimes they are not even rebuild in the exact same
place. Many of them are build at the place were the warrior or
king was killed, the remains often taken away to unknown places
by the enemies. Yet, all of them were called tombs by the
British Colonial rulers.<br>
Some of them have become places of worship, some of them have
become tourist attractions. Some of them are carefully guarded
as places to remember the dead for clan members only.<br>
So there is no common practice to tag these, what is your
general opinion and best tagging practice for these examples ?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Apart from the tombs, we don't have that
many cemeteries here. Most people are burred on their private
land in private graves. These might be burred graves but also
tomb like structures if they are burred to local clan
traditions. Some are burned and the ashes of the whole clan are
kept in a common tomb. All lots of differences, due to cultural
differences, but mostly on private lands. How should we call
these and tag these ? We do have some cemeteries, where people
are buried on land owned by a religious community, but that is
for people who have not private land when they died. We don't
have government owned burial places, at least not that I know
off.<br>
So how do you propose we should call these, tombs ?</font></p>

<div>I mostly agree, maybe not when there is a bigger site
with several of them within. You could add tomb=dolmen to
dolmen tagged as archaeological sites as well, but it might
not make a lot of sense (well, you'd save 1 tag if you do
not double tag, because of the megalith intermediate step,
but who would not double tag if several tags are available
;-) ). The question how you structure the sites, especially
if you are not an expert in the field, is probably according
to the names that the experts have given, so when there is a
named site with 3 "unnamed" dolmen inside, I could imagine
you use the archaeological site tagging for the site and the
tomb tags for the dolmen within.<br>
