São apresentados aqui os onze sepultamentos escavados no vale do rio Peruaçu desde 1981. Após discussão de dados referentes a sexo, idade e datação, é descrita a posição em que cada esqueleto se encontrava, bem como os objetos que o acompanhavam. Objetivamos com isso discutir a existência de padrões de enterramento para os dois períodos (Arcaico Médio - 4.500/7.000 BP - e Ceramista Recente a Médio - 600/1.200 BP) em que tais estruturas foram encontradas no vale. Concluímos que há algumas feições típicas de cada um desses dois períodos

Organic Remains

This paper examines the containment and covering of people and objects in burials throughout later prehistory in Britain. Recent analyses of grave assemblages with exceptionally well-preserved organic remains have revealed some of the particular roles played by covers in funerary contexts. Beyond these spectacular examples, however, the objects involved in covering and containing have largely been overlooked. Many of the ‘motley crew’ of pots and stones used to wrap, cover, and contain bodies (and objects) were discarded or destroyed by antiquarian investigators in their quest for more immediately dazzling items. Organic containers and covers – bags, coffins, shrouds, blankets – are rarely preserved. Our study brings together the diverse and often elusive objects that played a part in covering and containing prehistoric burials, including items that directly enclosed bodies and objects, and those that potentially pinned together (now mostly absent) organic wraps. Overall, we contend, wrapping, covering, and containing were significantly more prevalent in prehistoric funerary practices than has previously been recognised.

Dental morphological trait frequencies of Neolithic Russian Far East burials are more similar to those of Neolithic Central and Western Siberia than to percentages found in contemporaneous European Russians and Ukranians. Yet, archaeological evidence fails to indicate a close relationship between the Neolithic Russian Far East and Central and Western Siberia cultures. The Neolithic Far East sample is also dentally and culturally more like coastal prehistoric burials and present-day Eskimo and Chukchi samples from Chukotka than like non-coastal people of the Russian Far East.

AbstractBy careful analyses to the available data to date, this paper discusses the issues on the custom of burying dogs in the burials in the prehistoric times, including the temporal and spatial distribution of dog burials, the different characteristics of the dog burials in different times and regions, the intentions of burying dogs in the human burials and the changes and evolutions of them, and so on, by which this paper suggests the origins of this custom and the cultural inheritance of the cultures in the historic period reflected by the appearances of this custom, and finally puts forward new clues of searching for the place of origin of the Shang civilization.
