Archaeothanatology is an archaeological theory and multidisciplinary approach related to mortuary archaeology, which aims to reconstruct how people have dealt with the dead in the past. It seeks to comprehend the taphonomic processes that brought to the formation of funerary contexts through the cautious stratigraphic excavation of burials and post-excavation analysis of archaeological and osteological data.
