Abstract
Archaeological excavation of human remains provides information on decomposition in diverse situations. From this data it is possible to establish the original lay out of the remains, to distinguish between taphonomical processes and intentional human intervention, and to reveal the presence of decomposed organic materials. From observations in archaeological context, the author describes decomposition in a sitting/squatting position of a funerary bundle and explains how bones can be naturally displaced during the process.
