Taphonomy Of Burials

Taphonomy of Burials is a systematic analytical framework within mortuary archaeology that examines the post-mortem processes—both natural and cultural—that affect human remains and burial contexts from the time of deposition to discovery, in order to distinguish between primary funerary treatments and subsequent alterations induced by environmental, biotic, or anthropogenic factors.
