a style of the burials / the style of the burials I came across these sentences in BBC and I thought it doesn't change the original meaning if it were written "a style of the burials" Or with some idea, do we absolutely need a "the" there? ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ The site contained the skeletal remains of 35 humans, distributed among 20 separate graves. Based on the style of the burials, the archaeologists knew that they dated to between approximately 5,000 and 3,000 BC, a period known as the Chalcolithic or "Copper Age". ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Thank you!
