The incorporation of avian material in archaeological mortuary contexts takes a variety of forms and occurs in a wide range of temporally, geographically, and culturally differentiated contexts. Through these death-related deposits researchers have the opportunity to examine avian–human relationships exhibited in life and beyond, particularly when examined alongside other contemporary site types. This paper considers the role of birds in ideas and actions surrounding death through traditional zooarchaeological study, applied in detail to avian remains; an area which has sometimes been overlooked
