Abstrakt

When excavating any archaeological site, not only a cemetery, but also a settlement, the excavator should expect thatamong theremains of human culturalactivity there will be found also some remains of human beings themselves. It is especially true in Mesopotamia where the sites usually consist of many strata of occupation representing hundreds or even thousands of years, during which quarters of houses sometimes turned into cemeteries or funeral customsallowed the burials in still inhabited areas. human remains, bones and teeth, are important source both for archaeologists interested in burial practices and post-depositional processes (taphonomy of human remains), and for physical anthropologists (see Diagram 1).
