Abstract
Collective tombs include a broad diversity of archaeological contexts spanning prehistoric to modern times. Given the chronological, geographic, cultural and socio-political diversity of these archaeological contexts, the social motivations that led to the adoption of collective burial practices through time and space are likewise expected to be varied. Shedding light on the ideology underlying this particular form of burial is a major challenge for archaeologists who are left to interpret the material remains of past human activities. Recently, Mortuary Archaeology has witnessed a series of developments, and new issues have been raised.
