-------------------------------------- Product Name: Burial Sites: Sioux Warrior Grave Copyright 04-24-2020 (c) Robert Blanda By: Robert Blanda Contact: Cybertenko -------------------------------------- System Requirements: PC, Poser 6 and higher, (not tested on MAC, Materials need minor adjustments in DAZ studio, ERC channels might not work correctly in Daz Studio,) -------------------------------------- Product Description: Methods of burial may be heavily ritualized and can include natural burial, embalming or mummification; and the use of containers for the dead, such as shrouds, coffins, grave liners, and burial vaults, all of which can retard decomposition of the body. Sometimes objects or grave goods are buried with the body, which may be dressed in fancy or ceremonial garb. Depending on the culture, the way the body is positioned may have great significance. The location of the burial may be determined by taking into account concerns surrounding health and sanitation, religious concerns, and cultural practices. Some cultures keep the dead close to provide guidance to the living, while others "banish" them by locating burial grounds at a distance from inhabited areas. Some religions consecrate special ground to bury the dead, and some families build private family cemeteries. Most modern cultures document the location of graves with headstones, which may be inscribed with information and tributes to the deceased. However, some people are buried in anonymous or secret graves for various reasons. Sometimes multiple bodies are buried in a single grave either by choice (as in the case of married couples), due to space concerns, or in the case of mass graves as a way to deal with many bodies at once. In the first installment of our new series of strange or unusual burial sites is native american platform burial for deceased warrior. A burial scaffold was usually made of four upright poles or branches, forked at the top. This foundation carried a sort of bier, where the dead body was laid to rest out of reach of wolves. The preferred location was on a hill. During winter, the Ponca Indians would often substitute a grave with a scaffold because the ground was frozen. A Lakota summed up the reasons why a high scaffold outdid a grave: Animals or persons might walk over the graves, the dead might lie in mud and water after rain or snow, wolves might dig up the bodies and devour them. With the dead placed on a scaffold or in a tree, the relatives could easily talk to the deceased.
