TIL that an early Bronze Age woman was found in Britain with two lambs buried beneath her, her finger posed to point towards her ancestors tombs, and a piece of the White Cliffs of Dover chalk against her mouth. Her skull shows that she was sacrificed with a sword.

I didn’t see mention of a sword, Dover, or chalk in the linked article.
Sacrificed = murdered.
In her tomb were found four other people including a child, a grown man, and a 35-45 year old woman who died years before she did and was moved to her grave after she was buried. The 35 year old woman had signs of persistent handling on the skull, suggesting her bones were passed around in a ritual for many years before she was buried above the older woman in the same burial pit.
