- Archaeothanatology is a method based on the knowledge of human anatomy and taphonomic theory, developed to analyse archaeological contexts with human remains. The method emerged in the context of field archaeology and its application to museum colections can be problematic. In this paper, I present the principles of archaeothanatology and show its flexibility for the study of archaeological documentation in archive.Through the presentation of a case study I aim to demonstrate the potential of the method for the reconstructionof the chaîne operátoire of funerary gestures, which remains were documented in archaeological excavations several decades ago.
