However, cemeteries - the key conceptual and physical site for death - have rarely been the focus of archaeological research. Prioritizing Death and Society examines the structure, organisation and significance of cemeteries in the Southern Levant, one of the key areas for both migration and settlement in both prehistory and antiquity.Approaches to anthropological archaeology.DeathSocial aspectsMiddle EastHistoryFuneral rites and ceremoniesMiddle EastCemeteriesMiddle EastHuman remains (Archaeology)Middle EastMiddle EastAntiquitiesDeathSocial aspectsHistory.Funeral rites and ceremoniesCemeteriesHuman remains (Archaeology)939.4Nativ Assaf.1694492UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910824040903321Prioritizing death and society4073121UNINA
