Death as a Process by J Pearce

Death as a Process by J Pearce

This volume draws on large-scale fieldwork from across Europe, methodological advances and conceptual innovations to explore new insights from analysis of the Roman dead, concerning both the rituals which saw them to their tombs and the communities who buried them.

This book is an important contribution to the analysis of Roman funerary ritesIt demonstrates the valuable insights that application of scientific techniques can provide, as well as the implications that excavation methods can have for interpretation of the material. It is well edited. * Ancient West & East *
