“…In this sense, secondary mortuary rituals may include multiple levels of social organization, including band-level, co-resident groups, corporate kin groups, and corporate group structures in the form of lineal descent systems (e.g., lineages), which emphasize the community over the individual (Kuijt, 1996, p. 318). In this case, the body is not the product of the individual but a social and communal endeavor included within a wider framework of beliefs and human action (Chesson, 1999;Goodale, 1985;Hertz, 1960, p. 86;Kuijt, 1996, p. 318;Morris, 1991).…”

“…The material record of the EBA suggests that social identity was more likely formed along two fundamental lines: kinship affiliation, which is made clear by large cemeteries divided along networks of kinship (Chesson 1999;Harrison 2001); and local or regional economic relations, which are apparent from the circulation of locally sourced and produced goods within regional exchange networks (Milevski 2011).
