Abstract
ABSTRACTAmong ancient and modern societies, the transformation in funerary customs can represent a clear indicator of changes in the social fabric of a given society. It is within this perspective that archaeologists should thus correlate the information available from the “world of the living” with those recognizable in funerary contexts. For the purpose of reaching this target, the focus of this paper is on the residential graves found in Mesopotamian contexts of the late third and early second millennia BCE, and on the relationship between changes in funerary customs, socioeconomic transformations and the emergence of new social groups among Mesopotamian communities during this specific period.
