The principles and methods of archaeothanatology are now widely accepted for an optimized approach and understanding of funerary and mortuary contexts, both for past and present societies. Nevertheless, there is sometimes a lack of transmission and training concerning these principles, or even a real lack of knowledge, on the part of the actors of archaeology. This can lead to a poor approach in the field, and even to the non-recognition of structures and gestures, which then leads to an irremediable loss of primary data, equivalent to the pure and simple destruction of sites.
