Abstract:
In the Maubuisson abbey, written sources yield information about the funerary practices and statues of the nuns there buried. When compared with an archaeological and anthropological analysis of the burials, these sources reveal, from some points of view such as funerary practices, mortality, stress indicators and pathology, different funerary selections in two burying areas under study, namely the chapter house and the western gallery of the cloister: the first is reserved for officers, and the latter for nuns and lay sisters.
