soporte funerario

Spanish to English Other Archaeology Text from the Canary Isla
La tipología de ****soportes funerarios**** incluye túmulos, cistas, fosas y cuevas. En la mayoría de casos, estos contenedores acogen sepulturas primarias individuales donde los cadáveres se depositan decúbito supino.

Sin embargo, las últimas intervenciones arqueológicas han puesto de manifiesto excepciones a esta práctica con algunos individuos depositados decúbito prono y sepulturas colectivas que utilizan ***soportes*** generalmente individuales

Estos lugares ofrecen fechas comprendidas entre los ss. III-VIII d.C. realizadas sobre las pieles de los fardos de una momia y madera respectivamente, señalando que las cuevas fueron uno de los primeros ****soportes**** utilizados para depositar a los muertos.

Hi. Looking for help with soporte in this context please.
