Detailed Recovery Methods Show the Complexity of Ancient Mortuary Practices in Later Stone Age Hunter-Gatherers of Southern-Central Africa
This article examines mortuary practices by terminal Pleistocene and Holocene hunter-gatherers from Malawi and eastern Zambia in southern-central Africa, with a focus on the evidence for secondary burial and postmortem body manipulation over the past ~16,000 years. Published regional archaeological literature documents widespread but variable reports of incomplete or isolated remains from these contexts. While pre-burial body exposure, post-buria…
Postmortem Care of Subadults from the Neo-Punic Tophet at Zitha, Tunisia
Mortuary Practices and the Importance of Rock-Shelters during the Early and Middle Holocene in the Southern Maya Mountains
Research at two rock-shelters in the Maya Mountains of southern Belize, Mayahak Cab Pek and Saki Tzul, documents their persistent use as mortuary spaces over 9000 years, spanning the end of the last ice age until the end of the Classic period. These sites offer a rare diachronic view of mortuary behaviors within a single region of the neotropics spanning from early foragers through a long interval of transitional farmers. Here, we provide the fir…
The life and death of cremated infants and children from the Neo-Punic tophet at Zita, Tunisia
Tophets are Phoenician and Punic sanctuaries where cremated infants and children were buried. Many studies focus on the potentially sacrificial nature of these sites, but this article takes a different approach. Combining osteological analysis with a consideration of the archaeological and wider cultural context, the authors explore the short life-courses and mortuary treatments of 12 individuals in the tophet at the Neo-Punic site of Zita, Tunis…
Cremations and Pyrotechnologies among the Prehispanic Inhabitants of Cerro de Trincheras, Northern Mexico
Using data from several well-preserved pyres, which are rarely found well preserved in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, we examine cremation customs and their associated pyrotechnologies at the site of Cerro de Trincheras in northern Sonora, Mexico, from AD 1300 to 1450/1500. We explore variations in pyre construction and use, thermal alterations of the deceased, the deceased individuals' biological profiles, the performance of…
The Life Course of a Standard-Bearer
Inspired by life course and osteobiography approaches, this article explores the life and death of an individual associated with thelakamtitle ("banner" in Colonial Yukatek Maya; thus, a "standard-bearer"), a nonroyal elite of Late Classic period Maya society (AD 600-850). Although these elites are depicted on polychrome vessels and carved monuments, little is known about their life experiences and mortuary practices. The present analysis centers…
Quantifying Surplus and Sustainability in the Archaeological Record at the Carthaginian-Roman Urban Mound of Zita, Tripolitania
Cultural ecological theory is applied to a spatially and temporally bounded archaeological data set to document long-term paleoeco-logical processes and associated sociopolitical behaviors. Volumetric excavations, treating the material culture of an archaeological matrix similar to an ecological core, can yield quantifiable frequencies of surplus goods that provide a multiproxy empirical lens into incremental changes in land use practices, natura…
A Comparison of Mortuary Practices among the Tucson Basin Hohokam and Trincheras Traditions
Mortuary rituals are compared and contrasted in order to better understand social interaction between the Tucson Basin Hohokam of southern Arizona and the Trincheras tradition populations of northern Sonora. This interaction is explored through the examination of ideas about personhood and embodiment, and their relationship to the biological profiles and posthumous treatments of individuals during the Hohokam Classic period (AD 1150-1450) and the…
Cremation Funeral Customs among the Classic Period Hohokam of the Tucson Basin
The chapters in this volume represent the results of a multi-year, multi-researcher project to create a regional synthesis of prehistoric mortuary practices across the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico.Inspired by Adler's (1996) and Adam and Duff 's (2004) volumes that assembled, systematized, and reported data on sites and settlements in the region, we (the editors and authors of the volume) assembled and systematically aggregated mor…
Transformation by Fire
We examine the changes in funerary rituals from the Early Agricultural period (2100 BC-AD 50) to the Early Preclassic period (AD 475-750) and how these changes concurrently reflect changes in social relationships between the dead, their families, and the community. The predominant mortuary ritual in the Early Agricultural period was inhumation, possibly emphasizing a variety of identity intersections of the dead and the mourners in the treatment …
Changes in Remembrance of an Urnfield Cremation Cemetery, Cerro De Trincheras, Sonora, Mexico
We explore the transformation of a site into a place of remembrance by evaluating the life history of an urnfield at Cerro de Trincheras, Sonora, Mexico. Prehispanic inhabitants used this cemetery as a cremation burial ground ca. AD 1300-1450. Memory of the cemetery persisted into historical times among inhabitants of the area, but its use changed. We argue that critical and contextualized approaches to cemeteries are needed to understand the com…
Introduction
Four dramatic funerals punctuate the tenth- or eleventh-century Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf; two involve the burning of the dead. While a Christian work to its core, the poem draws upon far older stories and at its very conclusion the poet provides a striking vision of an early medieval open-air cremation ceremony. Having died by the fire and poisonous bite of a dragon dwelling in a stone mound, the king of the Geats is cremated with treasures: helm…
Unpacking Personhood and Funerary Customs in the Hohokam Area of Southern Arizona
Changing perspectives on concepts of personhood are explored by deconstructing mortuary customs from 10 Tucson Basin (Arizona) Hohokam archaeological sites dating from the Preclassic (A.D. 700-1150) and Classic (A.D. 1150-145011500) periods. Results indicate that certain aspects of personhood did not change across time and space at these sites. However, by analyzing changes through time in cremation rituals, it was possible to infer that some asp…
