What do you think? I thought that an ordinary grave (a wooden coffin in a hole dug into the earth) won't qualify as "tomb" and that there was some structure required for a "tomb". I don't like tomb=tombstone because I'd see the tombstone (that's the same as a headstone, isn't it?) as part of a tomb or grave, but not as a subtype for the tomb as a whole in a way that the other values like pyramid, rock-cut tomb or tumulus are. cheers, Martin
