AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work discusses burial practices during the 'Ubaid period and for the fifth millennium in general. Hole defines three dominant patterns of burials during the fifth millennium: 1)familial intramural interments, 2) segregation of infants for sub-floor disposal, 3)standardized disposal in tombs. These patterns are then seen in spatial and temporal perspective, related to ancillary evidence, and assessed in relation to demographic and social processes (p149).
