Abstract The high temperatures reached during cremation lead to the destruction of organic matter preventing use traditional isotopic methods for dietary reconstructions. Still, strontium isotope ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) and concentration ([Sr]) analyses cremated human remains offer a novel way assess changing consumption patterns in past populations that practiced cremation, as evidenced by large amount new data obtained from Metal Ages Gallo-Roman Destelbergen, Belgium. results show significantly...
ABSTRACT The Final Neolithic and the Bronze Age (3000–800 BC) are periods of great transformations in communities inhabiting area modern-day Belgium, as testified by archaeological evidence showing an increasing complexity social structure, technological transformations, large-scale contacts. By combining 599 available radiocarbon dates with 88 new 14 C from 23 funerary sites, this paper uses kernel density estimates to model temporality use inhumation vs. cremation burials, deposits barrows...
Abstract Cremation graves appear in different forms and shapes, from urns to simple pits single plural graves. The challenging nature of highly fragmented cremated human remains renders the identification multiple individuals within same cremation grave rather complex. Osteological analyses alone are often insufficient detect presence bone fragments as they small diagnostic elements missing, although, detection nonadult adult assemblages (or other way around) points at least two...
ABSTRACT Objectives Several archaeological cremation sites in Belgium have been investigated through a multidisciplinary approach. The sampling process predominantly focused on calcined ribs, diaphyses, and crania. However, previous studies rarely included teeth or the inner cortex (IC) of otic capsule petrous part, both which can provide information regarding residence mobility during infancy childhood. Moreover, potential these elements to contribute understanding practices has largely...
ABSTRACT The adoption of a new funerary ritual with all its social and cognitive meanings is great importance to understanding transformations past societies. first known occurrence cremation in the territory corresponding modern Belgium dates back Mesolithic period. From end Neolithic onward, practice was characterized by periods which this rite predominant contractions, defined decrease use ritual. This paper aims quantify such phenomenon for time modeling discontinuities burial practices...
Awareness of, and debate about, harassment, assault, bullying intimidation (HABI) in archaeology has grown recent years, but the issue remains under-researched. Here, authors present first Europe-wide survey to evaluate HABI archaeological environments, from field laboratory classroom. The covers 18 forms of HABI, collecting more than 1000 responses archaeologists 49 nationalities. A total 82 per cent respondents report at least one experience. conclude that is endemic European archaeology,...
Cremation is a complex mortuary practice, involving number of activities the living towards dead before, during, and after destruction bodily soft tissues by fire. The limiting information concerning these behavioral patterns obtained from pyre remains and/or cremation deposits prevents reconstruction handling corpse during burning process. This pioneering study tries to determine initial positioning in assess whether deceased was wearing closed leather shoes through isotopic (δ 13 C, δ 18...
Abstract Objectives This study aims to increase the rate of correctly sexed calcined individuals from archaeological and forensic contexts. is achieved by evaluating sexual dimorphism commonly used new skeletal elements via uni‐ multi‐variate metric trait analyses. Materials methods Twenty‐two traits were evaluated in 86 William M. Bass donated cremated collection known sex age‐at‐death. Four different predictive models, logistic regression, random forest, neural network, calculation...

Studies of funerary practices provide information about many aspects death in past societies. However, only limited archaeological evidence documents the circumstances under which cremations occurred and person(s) who were performing rituals. Lying at border between Atlantic Continental cultural traditions, Scheldt Meuse basins Belgium represent a unique location to investigate variations ancient pyre technology body management as well transfer knowledge related cremation techniques during...
