Article Reference Quelques aspects des pratiques funéraires au Néolithique proche-oriental : la gestion de l’espace à Çatalhöyük
Au Proche-Orient, des sépultures appartenant à des hommes, des femmes et des individus immatures, ont été retrouvées sous le sol des maisons néolithiques en Anatolie Centrale, au Levant Nord, au Levant Sud, et dans la Djezirah Iraquienne. Au sein de ses sépultures, les individus reposaient individuellement ou à plusieurs (simultanément ou successivement) dans une position évoquant celle d’un fœtus au sein de l’utérus. Les études sur leur contexte domestique et sur leur organisation spatiale sont des principales clefs pour l’interprétation des idées religieuses derrière ces pratiques. Dans le présent article, nous allons présenter quelques aspects des pratiques funéraires au Néolithique proche-oriental qui concernent surtout la gestion de l’espace funéraire à Çatalhöyük.

Article Reference Étude ostéologique de deux crémations provenant du site de Postel (Province d’Anvers, âge du Bronze)
Two cremations dating from the Bronze Age were discovered in the 1950s in a burial mound in Postel in the province of Antwerp. The colour of the skeletal remains indicates a homogeneous cremation with a temperature of at least 800°C. The most ancient individual (dated to phase I of the construction of the burial mound) is the most complete: about ¾ of its remains, which belong to all anatomical categories, were transferred from the pyre to the grave. The osteological study reveals that it was probably an adult male who was at least 25 years of age. The second subject is more recent (dated to Phase III) and is thought to have been an individual of undetermined sex, under 20 years old. The smaller quantity of remains and the absence of some anatomical categories, including fragile and small bones, that this was a deliberate sorting made by the cremation officiant. This type of selection has already been seen in other Belgian sites dating from the Bronze Age and later.

Article Reference Accompagner les morts : l’activité de fossoyeur de la Révolution à l’Empire à Reims
A person who acts behind the scenes of funerals, the gravedigger generally suffers from a bad image. Although his role is essential to the proper conduct of funeral practices, his missions and status are poorly known. The municipal and community archives of the city of Reims offer the opportunity to outline the activity of the gravedigger during the post-revolutionary period. Although the available bundles only allow us to understand the activity of the gravediggers over a short period of time, the information they provide constitutes the first milestones of a more global development of a «history of gravediggers».

Article Reference The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Selection of flint nodules, first step of the chaîne opératoire: data from ST6 Neolithic mine (Spiennes, Belgium)
Shaft ST6, exploited during the Middle Neolithic II (4200-3600 BCE), is the last extraction feature of flint excavated according to the most recent planned research at Petit-Spiennes. The objectives of this study are to determine the criteria used by Neolithic miners to select blocks in shaft ST6. It also aims to estimate the impact of flaws in raw material on the selection process (in particular extensional fractures), as well as any variability between the beds mined. Furthermore, the presence of hammer-stones, flakes and some roughouts in the underground mining works raises the question as to whether any knapping was carried out in these levels.
