烧焦的骨头是考古沉积物的常见组成部分，传统上与火葬、烹饪活动、废物处理、燃料使用和自然发生火灾的副产品有关。这样的解释假设负责任的代理人在沉积或埋葬之前对骨头起作用。加热和掩埋之间的这种顺序关系受到以下建议的挑战，即埋葬后骨骼的变化不仅是可能的，而且可以用来解释在某些情况下恢复的燃烧材料的状况。埋葬后的热暴露包括几个额外的变量。骨骼沉积的沉积物、暴露在热源下的时间以及埋葬和燃烧之间的间隔影响热蚀变的程度和范围。实验已经进行了测试的假设和参数周围的地下（即埋藏后）地表火灾的变化。
Burned bone is a common component of archaeological deposits traditionally associated with cremations, culinary activities, waste disposal, fuel use and a by-product of naturally occurring fires. Such interpretations assume responsible agents act upon bone prior to deposition or burial. This sequential relationship between heating and burial is challenged by the suggestion that post-burial alteration of bone is not only possible, but can serve to explain the condition of burned material recovered in certain situations. Exposure to heat following burial incorporates several additional variables. The sediment in which bone is deposited, duration of exposure to a heat source, and the interval between burial and burning affect the degree and extent of thermal alteration. Experiments have been conducted to test the hypotheses and parameters surrounding subsurface (i.e. post-burial) alteration by surface fires.
