The Social Archaeology of Funerary Remains, Paperback / softback Book

The Social Archaeology of Funerary Remains Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Funerary Archaeology series

Paperback / softback

Description

Human bones form the most direct link to understanding how people lived in the past, who they were and where they came from. The interpretative value of human skeletal remains (within their burial context) in terms of past social identity and organisation is awesome, but was, for many years, underexploited by archaeologists.

The nineteen papers in this edited volume are an attempt to redress this by marrying the cultural aspects of burial with the anthropology of the deceased.
