Keightley: Secondary burial is one in which you bury the person in the ground the first time and then after an interval-we don t know for the Neolithic how long, but modern ethnography suggests one year, two years, something like that the person is dug up, the bones are then cleaned off of any remaining flesh, and then they are reburied in the ground. Presumably this involves a ritual activity, and sometimes many bones are put in the same pit so that in a large community ritual, the positioning... of the bones, we assume, was significant. The analogy I was drawing, and it is only an analogy, was that the graphs can be seen to the words as the bones can be seen to the original human being. You are giving them structure, you are giving them meaning, but you are simplifying them at the same time. Starn: The purpose of the secondary burial was? Keightley: Well, again we re dealing now with evidence of six or seven thousand years old, but ethnographic analogy, again, suggests that it was only after you have been reburied, and the bones had been cleaned and stripped, that you were thought to be truly dead.
