One striking characteristic of the La Tène period is the variegated handling of the dead. The Basel-Gasfabrik Late La Tène site has two inhumation cemeteries but there are also partial and complete burials in settlement pits as well as numerous isolated human skeletal remains from a variety of contexts within the settlement itself. A number of individuals, or isolated bones respectively, from settlement features exhibit traces of diverse post- and perimortal manipulations like cutmarks or carnivore gnawing. The project will record all human skeletal remains from the Basel-Gasfabrik site and register any intentional and incidental marks on these in order to identify diverse ‘chaines operatoires’ and to characterize social groups subject to specific forms of treatment of the dead.
