Reconstitution de gestes funéraires by David Peressinotto, Bruno Maureille, Yves Lecointe, Francis Geus

“…This has allowed us to present the hypothesis that the shape of the shroud and the way to attach it have had a voluntary influence in the final position of the child in the pit, i. e. a dorsal decubitus of the body with the head hyper-flexed on the top of the trunk. Then, even if one side of the tissue of the shroud has been tear without care, its final shape is voluntary and implies a well defined funeral practice for such a child. …”
