Summary/Abstract: Though old or new or wide apart, domains may help understanding, offering fresh points of view. In this essay, taphonomy, an extremely complex science, a union – with a mathematical meaning – of different scientific sets, is put to test against text analysis and the theory of myths proving – like in a painter's ébauche – its applicability. Both taphonomy and the domains proposed are about embedding, and what we show is that the techniques and principles of traceability can be applied to deconstruct texts as well as myths.
