The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn't see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.
I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.
Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these "middens" like squirrels and octopi.
If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it's a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.
Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.
Ok
