Abstract
⺠Archaeothanatology allows inference of burial container form (burial context) from the position of skeletal elements. ⺠We describe a method for applying archaeothanatology to burials post-excavation, using photographs. ⺠We apply this method to 133 human burials from Ban Non Wat, Northeast Thailand. ⺠We show that burial context changed over time from heterogeneity to homogeneity in late prehistory. ⺠Archaeothanatology shown to be usefully applied post-excavation using photographs.
