    Alternative take: Every 80 or so years, some arsehole accidentally sets the village on fire.

      Arson usually has some human remains, who were inside the houses, but it’s not the case here, there are burned bones from earlier and latter cultures, but not from here (if I understand this correctly):

      For example early Neolithic houses have more artifacts deposited in them, and it is in these early Neolithic phases that burned human remains are most likely to occur (Chapman 1999). Human remains occur again in the late Eneolithic (Gumelniţa/Karanovo VI). The presence or absence of human remains in the rubble of burned houses is clearly of great significance.
