Les structures funéraires à crémation de l'Âge du Bronze au Semirech'e, Kazakhstan (nécropoles de Kul'Saj, de Kyzyl-Bulak et d'Oj-Dzhajljau)
Open accessAbstract
This article presents a bio-anthropological study of an assemblage of cremations found in various sites of the Late and Final Bronze Ages of the Semirich'e area (southeast Kazakhstan). The results indicate that burning took place once or twice and concerned not only adults of both sexes but also immature individuals. In the case of vety young individuals, it seems that there was a specific process at the time of deposition in the pit. Double burials could contain either two cremated individuals, or one cremated and one buried individual, especially among the immature examples. The simultaneity of these two funeral practices is not demonstrated, and in certain cases it could well be related to secondary "inhumation ". A radiocarbon date shows that these features, even though they are dated to the Final Bronze Age by their discoverers, a radiocarbon date shows that these features could be older, Early or Late Bronze Age (1 700-1 500 ВС). Thus, this region could have been inhabited Andronovo populations well before the date advanced a researchers.

The archaeological record is marked by dramatic changes in settlement patterns, large-scale abandonment of sites, many fewer items with symbolic meaning, and shifts in burial practices, including the disappearance of secondary burial in ossuaries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
