| Research Abstract |
About 240 human individuals were discovered in the first outdoor cemetery at Tell el-Kerkh, in the Rouj Basin, northwest Syria. We undertook archaeological and natural scientific analysis of these burials and reconstructed the social and spiritual lives of the people from the Kerkh Pottery Neolithic society. We were able to place the burials within the chronological history of funeral practices in West Asia. The appearance of outdoor cemeteries in the middle Pottery Neolithic period around 6500 BC was probably connected with both the development of a food-producing economy and a decline in the use of human bones in ancestor worship.
