"L'étude des restes osseux humains à l'issue de la crémation reste un enjeu important dans la compréhension des pratiques funéraires des populations du passé. Pour étayer notre analyse, nous avons tenté de collecter le plus grand nombre d'articles et d'ouvrages scientifiques possible sur le sujet. La spécificité de la recherche française est fondée sur la quantification pondérale des régions anatomiques par rapport à l'ensemble du squelette ou de la quantité d'os déposés dans la tombe. Les référentiels disponibles sur les squelettes ou les os brûlés n'étant pas assez détaillés et ceux utilisant des restes humains non crématisés, mal ou pas adaptés, nous proposons une nouvelle alternative avec des données reposant sur les restes humains crématisés issus d'un crématorium. Ceci concerne 140 sujets : 78 femmes et 62 hommes. Au-delà de cet indispensable outil, nous avons suivi 253 crémations pour étayer nos résultats sur les comportements du cadavre, des divers segments anatomiques et des os au cours de la crémation. Cet ouvrage attendu par les spécialistes de diverses disciplines propose également un certain nombre de critères pouvant aider à la détermination des fragments humains crématisés."

"Ash, bone, and memories are all that remains after cremation. Yet for societies and communities, the act of cremation after death is highly symbolic, rich with complex meaning, touching on what it means to be human. In the process of transforming the dead, the family, the community, and society as a whole create and partake in cultural symbolism. Cremation is a key area of archaeological research, but its complexity has been underappreciated and undertheorized. Transformation by Fire offers a fresh assessment of archaeological research on this widespread social practice. Editors Ian Kuijt, Colin P. Quinn, and Gabriel Cooney's volume examines cremation by documenting the material signatures of cremation events and processes, as well as its transformative impact on social relations and concepts of the body. Indeed, examining why and how people chose to cremate their dead serves as an important means of understanding how people in the past dealt with death, the body, and the social world. The contributors develop new perspectives on cremation as important mortuary practices and social transformations. Varying attitudes and beliefs on cremation and other forms of burial within the same cultural paradigm help us understand what constitutes the body and what occurs during its fiery transformation. In addition, they explore issues and interpretive perspectives in the archaeological study of cremation within and between different cultural contexts. The global and comparative perspectives on cremation render the book a unique contribution to the literature of anthropological and mortuary archaeology"-- "This edited volume explores crematory practices as both an archaeological phenomenon and social practice, within cultural constructs. This exploration aims to illustrate the need to view cremation as a study of not only mortuary practices, but also of a dynamic social process that deals with 'death, movement of the body, and final deposition of remains' (Kuijt)"--Provided by publisher.

"Columbarium tombs are among the most recognizable forms of Roman architecture and also among the most enigmatic. The subterranean collective burial chambers have repeatedly sparked the imagination of modern commentators, but their origins and function remain obscure. Columbarium Tombs and Collective Identity in Augustan Rome situates columbaria within the development of Roman funerary architecture and the historical context of the early Imperial period. Contrary to earlier scholarship that often interprets columbaria primarily as economic burial solutions, Dorian Borbonus shows that they defined a community of people who were buried and commemorated collectively. Many of the tomb occupants were slaves and freed slaves, for whom collective burial was one strategy of community building that counterbalanced their exclusion in Roman society. Columbarium tombs were thus sites of social interaction that provided their occupants with a group identity that, this book shows, was especially relevant during the social and cultural transformation of the Augustan era"--
