Burial archaeology is a sub-field of archaeology that focuses on the study of human burials. This research area explores the cultural practices, beliefs, and rituals surrounding the burial of the deceased in different societies and time periods. Burial archaeologists investigate various aspects of burials such as burial structures, grave goods, and burial practices to gain insights into social organization, religious beliefs, and cultural identities of past societies. The study of burials also helps archaeologists to understand the treatment of the dead and the importance of death rituals in different cultures.
