What can we learn about how people lived from the way they treat their dead? Death and the dead are ever present in the social landscape and as our largest source of information on our past. They have been key factors in the development of archaeology, becoming central to the theory and methodology of the discipline. Illustrated with case studies of bog bodies and cannibalism, this book examines the major debates such as Neanderthal burial and monumentalizing the dead.
