Description

Explore the complexities of ancient funerary practices in Death and Burial in Iron Age Britain. Published by Oxford University Press, this work examines the deposition of human and animal remains from the period. Harding investigates everything from whole skeletons to disarticulated fragments to understand the archaeological record. While many archaeologists previously viewed pit-burials or the presence of bones in settlements as casual disposal or the remains of social outcasts, this book provides a new perspective. It looks past the idea of minimal funerary impact to analyze how cremation and the scattering of remains shaped the history of the British Iron Age. This text is an essential resource for those studying social and cultural history through an archaeological lens.
