abstract = {In the last few decades, the discovery of large ditched enclosures in Iberia has revealed the diversity and
complexity of deposition and manipulation of human bone remains. Alongside traditional ritual burials
(mainly megalithic tombs and hypogea), fragmented and scattered human bones mixed with other kinds
of material culture began to appear in many features. This is the case for Ditch 5 at Marroquíes, which
offers an excellent opportunity to explore this ritual behaviour. Based on a multi-proxy approach, three
main conclusions can be drawn: 1) the skeletal elements present show deliberate selection of particular
categories of bones; 2) depositional episodes included the remains of people who died at different points
in time and were subject to different taphonomic processes, and 3) mobility patterns indicate that all
individuals, with one possible exception, were local. The movement and manipulations of body parts
may reflect the active role of people after death as social and symbolic elements that retain agency and
capacity for action.},
