This article should be divided in two due to the difference between the German terms "Nachbestattung" and "Sekundärbestattung"[edit]

I'm not a wikipedia veteran or German expert, only a student of archaeology and anthropology. But I think that there is a problem with this article. It seems that is has been created from translations of two German articles about two different types of burials: "Nachbestattung" and "Sekundärbestattung." Both can very well be translated to "Secondary burial," but there is, as far as I'm concerned, a major difference between the two German terms:

"Nachbestattung" or after burial refers to the secondary use (or reuse) of a grave, tomb, mound etc. While "Sekundärbestattung" or secondary burial refers to the reburial of a corpse, after it has been subject to a primary burial or been stored in some way during an intermediate period. As described by Hertz.

I'm not quite familiar with the necessary procedures in order to split this article, but if someone with the expertise agrees with me, I'll happily help.
