The Roman and Byzantine Graves and Human Remains, Hardback Book

The Roman and Byzantine Graves and Human Remains Hardback

Part of the Isthmia series

Hardback

Description

This study describes and interprets the graves and human remains of Roman and Byzantine date recovered by excavation between 1954 and 1976 in several locales around the Isthmian Sanctuary and the succeeding fortifications.

This material provides important evidence for both death and life in the Greek countryside during the Late Roman to Early Byzantine periods.

Examination of burial within the local settlement, comparative study of mortuary behavior, and analysis of skeletal morphology, ancient demography, oral health and paleopathology all contribute to a picture of the rural Corinthians over this transitional era as interactive, resilient and modestly innovative. Winner of the 2012-2013 CAMWS Outstanding Publication Award.
