Why would bronze age humans dispose corpses at all? Just drag them away so you don't get diseases.

But every culture we know of disposed bodies in some way that wolves, lions and other big land predators could not eat them.

Isn't that idea just because we don't find or recognize remnants of burial practices from cultures that did allow predators to consume the bodies?
