Abstract:
Excarnation -- the exposure of a corpse for stripping and possible dispersal by birds and animals -- is a burial rite known from ethnographic analogy. Using evidence from the Neolithic funerary monument of Adlestrop Barrow, Gloucestershire, as a case study, the author proposes the marking of bones by dogs and other canids as evidence of excarnation.
