The Late Bronze-Early Iron Age (LBA-EIA) urnfield of Tilburg-Udenhoutseweg yielded 229 cremation graves with various features. This large cemetery is a unique opportunity to reconstruct LBA-EIA population dynamics in the southeast of the Netherlands, where few of such large urnfields have been excavated. The combination of demographic data, strontium isotope ratios (Sr-87/Sr-86) of 109 selected cremation deposits, spatial organisation, and radioc…

Novel multidisciplinary approach detects multiple individuals within the same Late Bronze–Early Iron Age cremation graves
Cremation graves appear in different forms and shapes, from urns to simple pits and from single to plural graves. The challenging nature of highly fragmented cremated human remains renders the identification of multiple individuals within the same cremation grave rather complex. Osteological analyses alone are often insufficient to detect the presence of bone fragments from different individuals as they are small and diagnostic elements are often…
Hidden transitions. New insights into changing social dynamics between the Bronze and Iron Age in the cemetery of Destelbergen (Belgium)
Urnfields were the common type of cemetery in the Late Bronze Age (LBA) and Early Iron Age (EIA) in much of Northwest Europe. Rarely are there clear social or chronological differences between burials apart from changing pottery types. The cemetery of Destelbergen stands out because of the relatively high prevalence of monumental ditches surrounding a selection of graves, indicating a certain status difference between the deceased. Strontium conc…
Final Neolithic and Bronze Age Funerary Practices and Population Dynamics in Belgium, the Impact of Radiocarbon Dating Cremated Bones
The Final Neolithic and the Bronze Age (3000–800 BC) are periods of great transformations in the communities inhabiting the area of modern-day Belgium, as testified by archaeological evidence showing an increasing complexity in social structure, technological transformations, and large-scale contacts. By combining 599 available radiocarbon dates with 88 new 14 C dates from 23 from funerary sites, this paper uses kernel density estimates to model …
Is it hot enough? A multi-proxy approach shows variations in cremation conditions during the Metal Ages in Belgium
Multi-proxy analyses reveal regional cremation practices and social status at the Late Bronze Age site of Herstal, Belgium
Estimating age‐at‐death in burnt adult human remains using the Falys–Prangle method
OBJECTIVES: The Falys-Prangle-method assesses age-related morphological changes to the sternal clavicle end (SCE), enabling the observation of mature adults from the 5th decade onwards in unburnt human skeletal remains. The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of the Falys-Prangle-method on burnt human remains. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-two SCE of 40 cremated individuals (out of 86) from the William M. Bass collection of the F…
Revisiting metric sex estimation of burnt human remains via supervised learning using a reference collection of modern identified cremated individuals (Knoxville, USA )
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to increase the rate of correctly sexed calcined individuals from archaeological and forensic contexts. This is achieved by evaluating sexual dimorphism of commonly used and new skeletal elements via uni- and multi-variate metric trait analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-two skeletal traits were evaluated in 86 individuals from the William M. Bass donated cremated collection of known sex and age-at-death. Four diff…

Le projet Crumbel et l’apport de la recherche archéométrique
Le projet CRUMBEL vise à étudier la mobilité ancienne des populations sur le territoire de la Belgique, du Néolithique au début du Moyen Âge. Pour atteindre ces objectifs de recherche, différents sujets seront étudiés. Dans une première phase, les anciennes collections d’os humains incinérés seront répertoriées. Des échantillons provenant des sites funéraires feront ensuite l’objet d’analyses archéométriques des isotopes stables et de datations r…
Cremation vs. Inhumation
The adoption of a new funerary ritual with all its social and cognitive meanings is of great importance to understanding social transformations of past societies. The first known occurrence of cremation in the territory corresponding to modern Belgium dates back to the Mesolithic period. From the end of the Neolithic onward, the practice of cremation was characterized by periods in which this rite was predominant and periods of contractions, defi…
