| Synopsis: |
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 - 320p ("Studies in Funerary Archaeology 1", Oxbow Books 2006). The cover image has been incorrectly credited in this book. The copyright should read: X-Ray, French Vogue, Paris 1994 c. The Helmut Newton Estate/TDR Oxbow Books apologises for this error. |
