Death in Late Bronze Age Greece presents an exploration of the richness and variety of mortuary rituals in Late Bronze Age Greece. It explores how tombs and cemeteries on mainland Greece, Crete, and in the Dodecanese provide us with a unique lens through which to examine diversity in communities that have previously been interpreted through a monolithic narrative.
Tombs are among the most meaningful archaeological evidence that help to reconstruct past societies. Discussions on, and presentations of, the most recent methodological advances, i.e. theory and fieldwork techniques, in funerary archaeology constitute a very important part of archaeological bibliography internationally. The edited volume, Death in Late Bronze Age Greece, belongs to this corpus of contributions with a particular focus on the Late Bronze Age period in Greece...The book contains papers dealing with various areas of the Aegean, types of tombs, funerary practices, a wide range of methodological issues, and a variety of approaches towards funerary archaeology.
