The Uniqueness Problem: Cave Burials in the Great Basin A new study challenges the idea that one region's burial practices were exceptional—and finds that claims of uniqueness often collapse under closer scrutiny.

New study finds cave burials in Nevada’s Lahontan Basin weren’t unique—similar practices were widespread across the Great Basin for over 10,000 years. #Archaeology #GreatBasin #Burials www.anthropology.net/p/the-unique...

On the frozen plains of Sungir (in present-day Russia), two small bodies were buried head-to-head more than 34,000 years ago. They tell a story of illness and care, of life and death, of violence, symbolism, and belief. #burials 💀

Bonn-Oberkassel, Germany. #burials

14,000 years ago, a woman, a man… and a dog were buried together. A gesture that speaks of care, affection and a bond as old as time.
