Tafonomi
Tafonomi (af græsk taphe 'grav' og nomos 'lære'), læren om de
processer, der finder sted under en plantes eller et dyrs nedbrydning fra død til
evt. fossilering.

Beskrivelse:
Efremovs artikel beskriver behovet for en ny gren indenfor geologien, som han navngiver
tafonomi. Han definerer tafonomi som "the study of geological processes of the
transition of animal remains from the biosphere into the lithosphere" og han understreger,
at forståelsen af disse processer gennem tiden opnås gennem en klarlæggelse af "[t]he
laws of disposition and conservation of contemporary animal remains in sediments just
formed or being formed now."

Beskrivelse:
This study presents the results of a new archaeological analysis of the burials from
the Late Mesolithic cemetery of Skateholm II. This re-analysis is based on the methods
of anthropologie de terrain (Field Anthropology) which combine highly detailed
field observations with the cultural and natural factors that contribute to the decomposition
of the human body and the disarticulation of the human skeleton (Duday et al 1990).
Anthropologie de terrain utilizes taphonomic principles to infer the state of
the human remains and the structure of the grave at the time of burial, thus offering
a rigorous archaeological approach for reconstructing the original position of the
human remains, the arrangement of clothing and grave goods, and the overall architecture
of the grave. Anthropologie de terrain improves the documentation of the variability
in mortuary ritual in the Late Mesolithic society represented at Skateholm II. The results
provide strong support, in large part, for previous interpretations of Skateholm II
mortuary practices. In some significant cases, however, the results include details
about grave composition and therefore, about mortuary ritual, which were not previously
recognized. Anja Roth Niemi: De virksomme døde. Gravskikk
