Ochre use in burial practices in Thailand, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age
This study of red ochre in mortuary contexts in Neolithic to Iron Age sites in Thailand reveals regional and temporal variation. Used extensively at Neolithic Khok Phanom Di, often as body paint, the material was absent at contemporaneous inland sites. Its reappearance in the Bronze Age signalled a symbolic shift in practice, with pieces of ochre incorporated into elaborate funerary rituals. These patterns suggest differing cultural origins and e…
Ochre and Identity
The use of ochre in burials at the Neolithic site of Khok Phanom Di, Thailand, was a broadly inclusive practice; however, ∼18 per cent of burials did not contain powdered ochre pigment. On closer examination it was found that the majority of those without ochre were perinates. When compared to other burials in the cemetery non-ochred perinate burials were typically shallow scoop cuts, without grave goods. However, not all perinates were buried in…
An investigation into differential use of ocher in burials at Khok Phanom Di, Thailand
Ocher has been observed as a feature of burial traditions around the world, throughout history and prehistory. In Southeast Asia ocher first appears in Hòabìnhian burials; however, it is used discriminately, varying within and between sites. Understanding the selection process for individuals with pigmented burials has been difficult due to their limited number. The site of Khok Phanom Di, Thailand, dating from ~4000 to 3500 BP, reflects the vari…
Bone Surface Mapping
Surface changes on bone can be indicative of a range of different processes affecting an individual, from palaeopathology and taphonomy to cultural modification. Mapping these changes is essential to understanding bioarchaeological context and compare the changes across an individual and between them. This paper presents a new method for mapping surface features on bone ( e.g. erosion/abrasion, surface cuts and scratches, pathologies, modificatio…
