The discovery of funerary deposits with atypical and complex characteristics requires the use of an archaeothanatological approach to better interpret the mortuary practices. This approach comprises the processes of deposit formation and the reconstruction of the funerary cycle. Simultaneously, to best describe and classify some types of mortuary deposits—when traditional categories of classification are insufficient—it is necessary to incorporate complementary analytical categories, such as ongoing tomb use, body reduction process, funerary, extra or post-funerary formation processes, or corporeal relics. We present the case study of Burial 2 at Toca do Enoque, located within a Middle Holocene archaeological funerary site from Northeastern Brazil, whose remarkable features required such an approach and analytical categories towards a step-by-step reconstruction for a proper understanding of the funerary practices. Here, we highlight the funerary and post-funerary cycle of the mortuary deposit including the simultaneous and successive disposal of several bodies within a context of ongoing tomb use, with various phases of use and reuse, tomb re-opening, intentional anthropic disturbance, body-manipulation, commingled human remains formed by a body reduction process, and redundant human bones displayed as corporeal relics.

解释复杂葬礼的考古考古方法：以Toca do Enoque（巴西中新世）为背景的“埋葬2”案例研究

要发现具有非典型和复杂特征的葬礼，需要使用考古考古学方法来更好地解释房的做法。该方法包括沉积物形成和丧葬循环重建的过程。同时，为了最好地描述和分类某些类型的太平间沉积物（当传统的分类类别不足时），有必要纳入互补的分析类别，例如正在进行中的古墓使用，尸体减少过程，丧葬，丧葬或额外的ner葬后形成过程，或有形文物。我们介绍了Toca do Enoque埋葬2的案例，该埋葬位于巴西东北部一个全新世中部考古葬礼场所，其显着特征需要采用这种方法和分析类别，才能逐步重建，以正确理解the葬实践。在这里，我们重点介绍了葬场所的葬礼和葬礼后的循环，包括在正在进行的坟墓使用过程中同时连续处置多个尸体，以及各个阶段的使用和再利用，坟墓重新开放，故意的人为干扰，尸体-操纵，通过减少身体的过程形成的混合人类遗体，以及显示为有形遗物的多余人类骨骼。
