   Was subfloor burial common in Neolithic?

      Currently, while not a majority of cultures buried people under their homes, it was common enough.

      Çatalhöyük

      Non-royal Sumer and Babylon

      Poorer Mayans (from what can be found, there's much of the ancient Maya unexplored)

      The LoWiili culture and some other West African cultures

      The Tikopia until the arrival of Christianity

      Some neolithic sites in Europe, but not believed to have been too common there

         Also in Neolithic Yellow River it was pretty common to bury infants in jars/pots underneath the floor from what I remember.
