| description | Methods of analysis in physical anthropology fieldwork constitute fundamental tools for reconstituting funerary architecture (grave pit features, modes of construction, body positioning and possible coffin arrangements). Used correctly, these methods help to build regional typo-chronologies, revealing extremely varied customs. The aim of the case studies presented here is to reflect upon the notion of typology regarding a grave, and more particularly to question the potential of our analytical tools. It is fitting to evaluate ambiguities and to bear in mind that above all these notions allow a classification of taphonomical distortions that are not directly related to a given architectural reality. Problems encountered when attempting to reconstitute funerary arrangements indicate that this theme of reflection should be the current priority for anthropological fieldwork, as should supporting excavations in documented contexts. |
