(Paperback)

The investigation of human remains has always been central to archaeological, but archaeologists are not the only ones with an interest in their treatment. This book sets a fresh agenda for ethical studies in mortuary investigation, adducing a series of case studies which can be used to understand the questions facing burial archaeology.

(Hardback)

This book moves beyond the examination of grave goods to place community at the forefront of cemetery studies. It reveals that early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries were pluralistic, multi-generational places where the physical communication of digging a grave was used to construct family and community stories. -- .
