La mort d'autrui est une épreuve que les communautés humaines ont dû apprendre à surmonter dès les premiers temps de l'Humanité. Ce travail est une exploration des différentes réponses proposées par l'homme face au problème de la perte de l'autre à travers les gestes effectués sur le corps mort, depuis les soins thanatopraxiques jusqu'aux funérailles en plusieurs temps ou la création de reliques. La manipulation post-mortem des corps fournit régulièrement à l'archéologue des "dépôts secondaires" ou des dépôts primaires ayant subi des manipulations anthropiques post-dépositionnelles. Ces dépôts impliquent une gestion complexe et planifiée du processus funéraire et, en général, des gestes / pratiques / cérémonies en plusieurs épisodes. Cette thèse propose un éclaircissement des concepts et de la nomenclature liés à ces dépôts spécifiques. Une analyse transchronologique et transculturelle d'études de cas archéologiques et ethnologiques nous permet d'éclairer ces phénomènes mortuaires complexes dans leur dimension anthropologique. __ Human remains resulting from sophisticated mortuary treatments represent a preferred information source about the organization of societies and about the belief systems of ancient people. Thereby, on the archaeological field, secondary deposits, sacred artefacts made of humain bones or dismembered burials emerge as precious raw material in order to reconstruct gestures, practices and finally the symbolic discourse built around those dead who are selected to become particular protective entities, perhaps Ancestors. This work includes the study of double-funeral ceremonies and manipulations of human bones in funerary or ritual contexts but also complicated pre-funeral treatments (exposure, dismemberment, mummification) in a transcultural and transchronological perspective. Human remains and spatial data from archaeological contexts have been analyzed using a bioanthropological and traceological approach in order to reconstruct complex mortuary operating sequences. An ethnoarcheological study on multiple-steps funerals has been performed in order to interpret archaeological remains.

Im Jahr 2008 wurden bei Bauarbeiten auf dem Kasseler Universitätsgelände über 100 Skelette entdeckt. Doch um wen handelte es sich? Warum wusste niemand mehr, was geschehen war, und warum gab es keine Quellen, die den Fall dokumentierten? Warum waren die Toten vergessen worden? Diese Fragen beschäftigten die Öffentlichkeit. Und sie führen zurück in die Geschichte nicht nur Kassels, sondern auch in die deutsche und europäische Geschichte. Denn vermutlich handelte es sich um Soldaten der napoleonischen Armee, die in Kassel im Winter 1813/14 an einer Epidemie verstorben waren. Carina Kinz geht in ihrer ebenso fundierten wie anschaulichen Studie diesem bemerkenswerten Fall nach. Ihr Buch entwirft ein Panorama der Zeit, es lenkt den Blick auf die Folgen der Kriegszüge, auf das Elend der Soldaten, auf Krankheit und Tod. Es macht damit deutlich, dass sich in Kassel an einem Wendepunkt der Geschichte in dramatischer Weise die weltpolitischen Gegebenheiten mit dem Leiden der Menschen verknüpften. Neben dem großen Ereignis verdient es auch das individuelle Schicksal, dem Vergessen entrissen zu werden.

Osteoarchaeology is a rich field for reconstructing past lives in that it can provide details on sex, age-at-death, stature, and pathology in conjunction with the cultural, social, and economic aspects of the person's environment and burial conditions. While osteoarchaeological research is common in the Low Countries, many of the studies done on the excellent skeletal collections remain unpublished and therefore unavailable to a larger audience. Following on the Urban Graveyards volumes, 'Osteoarchaeology in historical context' contributes to the dissemination of cemetery research in the Low Countries. Several important skeletal collections are examined in their historical contexts to better understand past living and dying. Osteoarchaeological data are combined with information on burial location, orientation, and grave goods. In doing so, this volume expands our knowledge of contextual cemetery research in the Low Countries and serves as a starting point for comparative research.

Commingled and Disarticulated Human Remains: Working Toward Improved Theory, Method, and Data brings together research that provides innovative methodologies for the analysis of commingled human remains. It has temporal and spatial breadth, with case studies coming from pre-state to historic periods, as well as from both the New and Old World. Highlights of this volume include standardized methods and the presentation of best practices in the field. Using a case study approach, the volume demonstrates how data gathered from commingled human remains can be incorporated into the overall interpretation of a site and explores the best ways to formulate the demographic makeup of commingled assemblages. Field archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, academic anthropologists, forensic anthropologists, zooarchaeologists, and students of anthropology and archaeology will find this to be an invaluable resource.
