cannibalism with the celts
#12
Human bone marrow is up to approx. 80% lipid. It should burn relatively easily. Bones and fat were burnt by the Greeks and Romans after a sacrifice, as the gods' portion. It is possible that human bone marrow could have been removed for ritual reasons, though it would yield a lot of nutrition due to its high fat content.
