Description

In mortuary archaeology, researchers often focus on what makes individuals different, such as age, gender, status, or ethnicity. Jill L. Baker offers a fresh perspective in The Funeral Kit: Mortuary Practices in the Archaeological Record. Instead of looking for differences, this work examines the commonalities found within the funeral kits present in all burials, regardless of social status. By studying these shared elements, Baker explores what these commonalities reveal about the worldview and religious beliefs of ancient cultures. The study begins with an analysis of Middle and Late Bronze Age tombs in the southern Levant before expanding its scope to provide a broader understanding of mortuary practices. This book provides a unique framework for understanding how shared ritual behaviors can define a culture's identity through the archaeological record.
