Cremations at the Marana site

Abstract
Morris and Brooks analyzed the cremated remains from Marana. They compare them to remains found at La Cuidad and Snaketown. They conclude that the low bone weight of the cremations can be explained by the symbolic treatment of the remains that includes only removing part of the cremated remains from the area they were burned in and dividing the cremated bones and burying them separately. When this behavior is taken into account, the proportions of subadult to adult cremations are as expected for the population of the residence group at Locus D.
