³ "On the coast of Atlantic, the North sea and the Baltic, megalithic tombs exhibit a continuous distribution in space. But they do not disclose a single culture in the usual sense of a complex of traits—similar pottery, tools, weapons and ornaments regularly recurring together in these tombs and not in other sepulchral associations. Only one class of pottery, the so-called Beakers, is at all often found in these tombs all over the province. "He concludes his very provocative summary in", *Ancient India* with the remark, "the quest for any megalithic circle culture is much less promising than for a tomb complex". CHILDE, GORDON, V. "Megaliths", *Ancient India* No. 4, 1947-48. p. 6 & p. 13.
