The considerable transformations of the methodologies have raised the need for a renewal of the questions on the funerary practices during Late Antiquity, a period marked by multiple political, social, demographic and cultural changes. The emergence field anthropology, which was the beginning of archaeothanatology, and then the recent development of collaborative approaches between various scientific fields (archaeothanatology, biochemistry and geochemistry, genetics, history, epigraphy, for example), have been decisive. The research collected in this book is structured around four main themes: Evolution of funerary practices over time; Social identity through death; Changing burial grounds (organisation and topography); Territories of the Empire (from the heart to the margins). These studies propose a review and a revision of the data, both anthropological and archaeological or historical on Late Antiquity, and reveal a mosaic of political, social, and cultural landscapes singularly rich and complex. In doing so, they demonstrate that we can truly understand the cultural and social structures of ancient communities and their potential transformations, based on the study of funerary practices. 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 606 $aArchaeology$2bicssc 610 $aanthropology 610 $aarchaeology of death 610 $aarchaeothanatology 610 $afunerary 610 $ainterdisciplinarity 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aArchaeology 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743398103321 996 $aDeath and the Societies of Late Antiquity$93559813 997 $aUNINA
