Abstract

Using data from several well-preserved pyres, which are rarely found well preserved in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, we examine cremation customs and their associated pyrotechnologies at the site of Cerro de Trincheras in northern Sonora, Mexico, from AD 1300 to 1450/1500. We explore variations in pyre construction and use, thermal alterations of the deceased, the deceased individuals’ biological profiles, the performance of mortuary rituals, and the sensorial experiences of both the mourners and the wider Cerro de Trincheras community. The residents of the site were masters of the pyrotechnologies associated with cremations, making efficient pyres for the deceased and maximizing their resources. The group also created transformative funeral rituals that may have facilitated and mediated a wide range of emotional responses toward their deceased.
墨西哥北部Cerro de Trincheras的前西班牙裔居民的火葬和烟火
利用美国西南部和墨西哥北部很少发现的几个保存完好的柴堆的数据,我们研究了公元1300年至1450/1500年墨西哥索诺拉州北部Cerro de Trincheras遗址的火葬习俗及其相关的烧制技术。我们探索了柴堆结构和使用的变化、死者的热变化、死者个人的生物特征、太平间仪式的表现,以及哀悼者和更广泛的Cerro de Trincheras社区的感官体验。该遗址的居民掌握了与火葬相关的火葬技术,为死者制作了高效的火葬柴堆,并最大限度地利用了他们的资源。该组织还创造了变革性的葬礼仪式,这些仪式可能促进和调解了对死者的广泛情感反应。
