The formation of commingled human bone assemblages is a key aspect for better understanding funerary rituals. The megalithic cemetery of Panoría (Spain) provides an excellent opportunity to explore bone assemblage formation thanks to the recent excavation of an undisturbed burial. For this purpose, we have approached the differential skeletal representation found between bone and teeth at the site through radiocarbon (14C) dating and Bayesian modeling. The comparison between the series of 14C dates on bone (n=12) and teeth (n=14) stress three main aspects: (1) the dates of teeth show a long period of funerary use before the deposition of the human bone remains; (2) both kinds of samples appear to be chronologically sequenced; the end of the teeth 14C series matches with the beginning of human bone deposition; and (3) bone remains span a short period, not more than a few decades, which probably represents the last episode of intense mortuary activity. These differences suggest that teeth could be the evidence of skeletal depositions subsequently removed from the tomb. The deposition and removal of bone remains emerge as key aspects in the formation of the bone assemblage.

对巨石纪念碑中人骨遗骸的沉积和去除的放射性碳年代测定方法

混合人骨组合的形成是更好地理解丧葬仪式的关键方面。帕诺里亚(西班牙)的巨石墓地为探索骨骼组合形成提供了绝佳的机会,这要归功于最近对未受干扰的墓地的挖掘。为此,我们通过放射性碳研究了在该部位发现的骨骼和牙齿之间的差异骨骼表现(14C) 约会和贝叶斯建模。系列之间的比较14C 骨上的日期(n=12)和牙齿上的日期(n=14)强调三个主要方面:(1)牙齿上的日期在人骨遗骸沉积之前显示出长期的陪葬使用;(2) 两种样本似乎都按时间顺序排列;牙齿的末端14C系列与人体骨沉积开始相匹配;(3) 骨头遗骸的时间很短,不超过几十年,这可能代表了最后一次激烈的太平间活动。这些差异表明,牙齿可能是随后从坟墓中移除的骨骼沉积物的证据。骨残留物的沉积和去除成为骨组合形成的关键方面。
