Des morts sans tombe?: Le cas des ossements humains en contexte non sépulcral en Europe tempérée entre les 6e et 3e millénaires av. J.-C.

From one ritual to another: the long-term sequence of the Bury gallery grave (northern France, fourth–second millennia BC)

“…The comparatively low number of individuals buried during the third millennium BC in both collective monuments and individual graves throws into question the dominance of this practice during this period (Salanova 2011).
