Description

Sacrifice, like death, is one of the great taboo subjects of modern society.

The notion that human sacrifice, murder most horrid and even cannibalism could be considered a most holy act is almost inconceivable.

Yet the evidence for human sacrifice in north-west Europe, deriving from both archaeology and the testimony of Classical writers of the first centuries BC/AD, has to be confronted.

This is the challenge of this original, but often disturbing, book.

Brings together a wealth of archaeological, anthropological and historical evidence that has not been previously available is a valuable asset to scholars.
