Research assessment
statement
Cremation and urn burial expanded through interacting local social change, emulation and mobility rather than one uniform migrating population.chronology test
High-resolution cemetery sequences should show uneven adoption, overlap with inhumation and local variation rather than a single synchronous frontier.geography test
Practice boundaries should be porous and cross-cut artefact distributions, with regional clusters rather than a single fixed territorial block.supporting evidence
Paris Basin critique and wider regional syntheses document variation in rite and chronology.Evidence and sources
