Rectangular Shapde Burial Structures Outside the City wall of Beikthano. Nyein Nyein Myint Beikthano, 900 hectares, is approximately 18 kilometers west of Taungdwingyi Township, Central Myanmar. The different shapes of burial structures were found in Beikthano through the many times of excavation. This paper intends to do the research into the detailed burial practices of rectangular shaped structures found outside the city wall of Beikthano. This paper was undertaken based on the collected data and typological analysis. The rectangular shaped structures were found more outside the northern city wall, the cremation burial system were uncovered much more than the inhumation in the rectangular shaped burial structures outside the city wall and the burials were only found inside the structures. Consequently, the Beikthano Pyu used the northern side more than other sides for burial, the cremation burial system than the inhumation and inside the structure than outside in the rectangular shaped burial structure outside the city wall. Key words: cremation, inhumation, terracotta urn 2018 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000470 https://meral.edu.mm/records/470
