Abstract:

The article presents the preliminary results of the analysis of individual burial complexes discovered at the biritual burial ground of the Saltiv culture in Chervona Hirka (Balakliia district of Kharkiv Oblast). During the work at the burial ground, 313 burials were examined, of which 191 were performed as inhumations, and 122 – cremations. Also, 18 cases were recorded at the burial ground when some burials were inlet into the filling of the burial pits of other burials without destroying the latter.

The author of the article examines the system of princely burials of Vladimir Monomakh’s sons. The aim of the article is to analyze the logic of burials of Vladimir Monomakh’s sons, considering the political and ideological realities of the 12th century. The analysis is based on the Ipatiev and Laurentian chronicles. In the introduction to the article, the author explains the importance of studying the system of princely burials: they are a symbolic expression of ideas about the power strategies and claims of the ruling elites of the Middle Ages.

Throughout history, it has been observed that human populations have buried the deceased members of their communities following different patterns. During the Copper Age and the Bronze Age—periods on which this study focuses—in the northern sub-plateau of the Iberian Peninsula, we identified different patterns of multiple or collective burial. This work analyzes a total of 58 individuals buried in different multiple or collective graves, to investigate whether the practice of these burials implies a family or biological link between individuals buried together.

Burying deceased family members in familial gravesites close to the homestead of the living has been a well-established practice in Southern Africa for many centuries. In terms of indigenous cultural and religious norms proximate burials are essential for enabling ancestors to commune amongst themselves and with their living descendants. In the colonial and apartheid eras many African communities lost ownership of their land. One of the consequences was that they needed permission from white landowners to continue with burials in established gravesites. In the democratic era the legislature so

This review aims to establish criteria for identifying an adoption process in an archaeological context. We define adoption as raising an individual who does not belong genetically to the family. Adoption appears in different moments of past societies, and when establishing a “family” nucleus burial place we must consider certain social behaviors, such as burials under the houses, collective burials, or laying bodies in specific positions. After observing these signs, we are carrying out a genetic analysis, in order to confirm a biologically related family nucleus. These traces have been tradi

This paper details a new approach to the study of the Scythian burial mounds—the ‘planigraphy’ (or spatial analysis) of the mound and its burials, which follows two lines of enquiry that have so far been largely overlooked. Firstly, the statistics concerning the depth of all types of graves, such as primary and secondary burials, servants’ and horse graves, have been closely examined and compared because this parameter is an important mark of the social status and hierarchy of the deceased and their burials in Scythian funeral ceremonies. Secondly, grave locations within the mounds have been a

Archaeologists frequently excavate historic burials and the vast majority of the graves will be unidentified. It is rare, and also surprisingly difficult, to unite documentary sources and gravestone identities with the burials underneath. Sites are therefore interpreted and analyzed as holistic anonymous populations rather than as individual graves. Excavation of a 19th and 20th century cemetery in Copenhagen created an opportunity to explore the topic of working with identified graves through connecting to genealogical sources and theoretical approaches which are rarely encountered in archaeo

Abstract:

The article addresses materials found in two burials of representatives of the ruling clans of the early medieval states in China. The first one is the tomb of the Rouran princess Yujiului Chidilian (550) — the granddaughter of the Rouran Khagan Anagui and the wife of Gao Dan (a member of the aristocratic family of the Northern and Eastern Wei period, whose representatives founded their own Northern Qi dynasty). The second is the tomb of Li Jingxun (608) — the granddaughter of the penultimate emperor of Northern Zhou and the great-granddaughter of the first emperor of Sui. The authors provide

The materials of the burial ground show a resemblance with the Mediaeval West-Baltic groups of tribes (Curonians, Skalvians, Prussians, et al.). At the same time, some grave goods and certain features of burial rites indicate the more syncretic nature of the settlers’ culture. The discussion about the time, place and circumstances of t

The text catalogues the best preserved pieces of coffins and cartonnages excavated from the burials made on the Third Terrace of the Temple of Hatsheput in the Third Intermediate Period when the ruins were used as a burial ground for noblemen, in particular the family of Vizier Padiamunet. Hundreds of fragments were found since the 1930s (not all have survived and the fragmentation and mixing of the finds make it a very difficult material to study). On typological and epigraphic grounds the remains were assigned to the third part of the Twenty-second and the larger part of the Twenty-fifth Dyn

ABSTRACTThe burial of war dead was a key element of displacement and community formation during wartime and postwar China and Taiwan, 1937–1955. Reckoning with the physical burial and spiritual pacification of civilian as well as military dead posed practical and epistemological problems for the tens of millions forced to migrate amid shifting political and military boundaries. Various populations of living and dead refugees became increasingly politicized on the national and international levels, affecting local rituals and family burials.

Abstract:

Sunjang or retainer burial is a peculiar characteristic of Silla and the Gaya polities in an early stage of the Three Kingdoms period on the Korean Peninsula. The existence of this practice is attested by an entry in the Samguk sagi and by the occurrence of multiple graves in the archaeological record. There is a general tendency to interpret all graves that have more than one interment as representative of the sunjang practice, as long as the synchronicity of the burial appears to be plausible. Other reasons that may lead to the formation of multiple graves are often not systematically

Abstract:

In 426/425 BC the Athenians purified the island of Delos: they removed all the graves, and for the future forbade either dying or giving birth there; those involved were to be removed to Rheneia. They also instituted the penteteric Delia after the purification. Whatever the Athenians' initial motivation, the interdiction on burial seems to have been taken seriously, for there were few if any licit burials on the island for the rest of antiquity. It must have been very difficult for the people of Delos to conform to this law, as it affected both the burial of the dead, and the performance of th

In this paper, we examine wood charcoal assemblages that were recovered from ash layers in Terminal Classic (A.D. 800–950) burials at the Maya site of Rio Bee to understand the use of fuel wood in funerary rites. Compared to charcoal deposits from domestic and non-funerary contexts, the spectrum of wood taxa used in the burial deposits is unique, which suggests specific fire-related practices. Members of the Sapotaceae family and Cordiasp. dominated all contexts and were clearly primary fuels. In contrast, the use of pine (Pinus sp.), which does not grow locally today, was limited to ritual pr

Abstract:

During periods of transition in the Maya region, the importance of ancestors becomes increasingly central to both political legitimation and ritual expressions. From the Preclassic to Early Classic periods, the role of individual ancestors not only transformed civic-ceremonial centers and political legitimation, but also hinterland household and community ties to the land and landscape. At the community of Rancho San Lorenzo, near the larger centers of Actuncan and Xunantunich, broad Early Classic social transformations are reflected at both the household and community levels.

Abstract:

This article revisits how the poor and destitute were treated in the waning years of the churchyard-based burial system. Working-class families increasingly risked funeral destitution as changing norms increased the expected cost of burial and mourning. A death in the family meant lost revenue and possibly debt. New goalposts for respectability and 1830s utilitarian reforms worsened the outlook for the dead poor, exposing their corpses to physical destruction through dissection – once the punishment of executed murderers. Poor families often preferred pauper burials, paid for by parishes and P

Three vessels containing cremation burials were found in pits within the enclosed area, along with nine other funerary bowls, urns and jars. Whilst cremation burials of this date are fairly common, this is the first published example of such a cemetery enclosure from Essex.

This article examines textual and material evidence regarding the burials of emperors during the Palaiologan period. It is argued that the Palaiologos dynasty did not initially have a plan to establish an imperial mausoleum: the monastery of Lips, re-founded by Theodora Palaiologina and often regarded by modern scholars as an imperial mausoleum, was instead conceived as a family shrine. Small-scale attempts to establish imperial mausolea are discernible only from the middle of the fourteenth century onwards, with the burials of Andronikos III and John V in the monastery of ton Hodegon and of t
