3D Models as Useful Tools in Archaeothanatology
2022Since the 1960s, various technological developments have changed research practices in all disciplines. These profound transformations are the consequences of the advent of computers and, above all, access to great computing power. Innovations and tools are rapidly being transferred from industry to the social sciences and humanities, and being adapted

The Taphonomic and Archaeothanatological Potentials of Diagenetic Alterations of Archaeological Bone
2022Bone is a dynamic substrate in life (Lanyon and Rubin, 1984), after death (Hedges, 2002; Kendall et al., 2018) and even after fossilisation (Saitta et al., 2018). After an organism dies, the bone is transformed by a myriad of physical, chemical and biological processes (Hedges, 2002; Madgwick and Mulville, 2012; Madgwick, 2014; Villagran et al., 2017 ...

Abstract Research on mortuary practices has attracted a wide following for the role it can play in determination of individual social identity and population social structure. One aspect of mortuary practices that is rarely addressed, except where physical remnants are recovered, is the form of burial containers.

The Zvejnieki burial ground in northern Latvia is one of the largest concentrations of burials from the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Northern Europe. The 308 burials, dominated by primary inhumation, excavated in the 1960s and 1970s have become important references for understanding the hunter-gatherer mortuary practices in the region.

The discovery of funerary deposits with atypical and complex characteristics requires the use of an archaeothanatological approach to better interpret the mortuary practices. This approach comprises the processes of deposit formation and the reconstruction of the funerary cycle.

Abstract The archaeological site of Checua is located at the north end of the Sabana de Bogota, Northern South America. New archaeological research at the site has revealed significant evidence of well-preserved hunters and gatherers’ funerary contexts which date back to 7580-5052 BP (cal 2σ). Former studies reported 33 human interments, and a recent

The archaeothanatology of seated-flexed burials in the prehispanic southern Andes
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2019Abstract Natural and anthropogenic taphonomic processes in seated-flexed human burials introduce variability in the archaeological record that may obscure evidence for standardization of funerary practice and prolonged ritual interaction with ancestral remains.

Mors Immatura in the Civitas of Forum Iulii, Narbonnensis Gaul:
2023During the Roman period, the funerary treatment of children is always described as being very specific, and sometimes atypical, or deviant, compared to that of adults. In Forum Iulii, the graves analysed, including both cremations and inhumations, indicate clear specific gestures towards this age category. However, the inter- and intra-site comparative
