This was a topic on Stumpers-list in the past couple of weeks.  In
general, the replies to the question stated that the tradition
evolved from desert practices of placing stones over a burial.  If
anyone wants to follow the discussion, Stumpers archives are now at a
gopher site.

Directions to Stumpers:

     gopher crf.cuis.edu
       8. Library Resources/
          6. STUMPERS Reference Questions Archive

If you don't have gopher software, you'll have to telnet to a gopher
site and go in from there.  Warning, 'Schindler' is misspelled in
various ways in the subject lines.
