有目的的处理尸体的证据和其他推断在旧石器时代中期的仪式行为进行了地质考古研究。洞穴地形学、沉积学和地形学构成了重新检查尼安德特人发现的基础，这些发现最常被引用在这方面：La Chapelle-auxSaints、Le Moustier、La Ferrassie、Teshik-Tash、Regourdou和Shanidar。已发表的观察结果与尼安德特人被他们的同类埋葬的结论之间存在逻辑上的不一致。
Evidence for purposeful disposal of the dead and other inferences of ritual behavior in the Middle Paleolithic are examined geoarchaeologically. Cave geomorphology, sedimentology, and taphonomy form the basis for a reexamination of the Neandertal discoveries most often cited in this connection: La Chapelle-auxSaints, Le Moustier, La Ferrassie, Teshik-Tash, Regourdou, and Shanidar. Logical incongruencies are identified between the published observations and the conclusion that Neandertals were being buried by their conspecifics.
