Mass burials are reported under different contexts and from all time periods. It represents a method for disposing of human remains when there are too many bodies to contend with at one time. Such graves are typically the result of increased mortality due to epidemic, famine, war, genocide, sacrifice, or natural disaster To date, many mass graves have been unearthed throughout Europe both in urban and rural contexts and have mostly been attributed to famines and plague epidemics The field of archaeology has greatly benefited from studying epidemic graves, not only through the historical knowledge gained but also through gaining further insight into palaeodemographic dynamics and to answer questions pertaining to palaeopathology
