Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A tumulus (plural tumuli) is a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Tumuli are also known as barrows, burial mounds, Hügelgrab or kurgans, and can be found throughout much of the world. A tumulus composed largely or entirely of stones is usually referred to as a cairn. The method of inhumation may involve a dolmen, a cist, a mortuary enclosure, a mortuary house or a chamber tomb. Examples of barrows include Duggleby Howe and Maeshowe. The word is Latin for ''mound'' or ''small hill'', from the PIE root teuh2- with extended zero grade tum-, ''to bulge, swell'' also found in tumor, thumb, thigh and thousand. "Tumulus" can also refer to a formation caused by the uplift of lava on a pahoehoe flow field. The lava pushes up against the recently solidified surface creating tumuli along the surface.
