   • 1988, Yuri Smirnov, “Mousterian Burials”, in Social Sciences, volume XIX, number 1, USSR Academy of Sciences, pages 138 and 141:

     At the same time, it must be acknowledged that Mousterian burials are still a poorly studied source from the taphological point of view, i.e. as far as study of the actual burial rites is concerned. […] The numbers of sites with burials, their dating, natural habitat, and the approximate number of simultaneous burials at each site all point to the existence of certain “centres of taphological activity” for the earliest man.
