It challenges the bias that often exists in the discussion of these individuals. In particular, the mortuary remains of non-elite children and infants are viewed by some researchers as crude burials, containing very few grave goods. According to this view they represent little economic outlay, were often interred elsewhere because of their lack of integration within their community, and were sometimes disposed of like garbage. To re-evaluate these views, a case study is undertaken of 127 non-elite... | | |
