N2  - Human bones form the most direct link to understanding how people lived in the past, who they were and where they came from. The interpretative value of human skeletal remains (within their burial context) in terms of past social identity and organisation is awesome, but was, for many years, underexploited by archaeologists. The nineteen papers in this edited volume are, an attempt to redress this by marrying the cultural aspects of burial with the anthropology of the deceased; Índice: Introduction (Rebecca Gowland and Christopher Knusel); The intrinsic pattern of preservation of human skeletons and its influence on the interpretation of funerary behaviours (Silvia Bello and Peter Andrews); Pattern in human burial practice (Peter Andrews and Silvia Bello); L'archaeothanatologie ou l'archaeologie de la mort (Henri Duday); Neolithic burial taphonomy, ritual, and interpretation in Britain and Ireland: a review (Jessica Beckett and John Robb); Cremation ... the cheap option? (Jacqueline I McKinley); Companions in death: the roles of animals in Anglo-Saxon and Viking cremation rituals in Brit... Etc
