The University of Cordoba has participated in an international study documenting post-mortem bone modifications not linked to consumption. Many bone remains deposited in prehistoric caves feature cuts and marks, with the scientific community at times attributing to their usage for human consumption. A study presented by University of Cordoba researcher Rafael Martínez Sánchez, and led by Zita Laffranchi and Marco Milella at theThe work advances our knowledge of the funerary rites that took place during the Neolithic by documenting how prehistoric societies modified human bones to make use of them.
As Martínez Sánchez argues, “It seems that there was the idea of grouping the dead in the same place, cleaning the remains, and using the bones as instruments, perhaps related to some type of ritual performed inside the cavity.” With this study the team has managed to substantiate a treatment of skeletal remains most likely not linked to consumption, but rather to more complex factors. Thus, it seems that the bones were used for ritual and cultural aspects after their depositing.
