My guess is human sacrifice was common in most primitive societies and the people sacrificed were war captives as they didn't had the institutions to maintain slavery so they didn't had much use for them. Stone age farmers brutally killing captives in public ceremonies is something that happened in North America until less than 200 years ago.

Just looking at the images of those poor women's skeletons and the position they were placed in was particularly shocking and cruel. What a dreadful way to die, how another human can inflict this suffering never ceases to shock me.
