Williams, Howard, ed. - Archaeologies of Remembrance~Death and Memory in Past Societies

Social and ritual traditions evolve over time. The collection of conference papers in this book address their development regarding the dead by analyzing archaeological evidence of mortuary practices. They consider such things as monument building, treatment of the corpse, eulogistic practices. The essays discuss how people in the past, individually and collectively, preserved memories and passed them on to successive generations.
