This volume draws together the inventive methodology that has been developed for this material and combines it with a fuller interpretation of the archaeological funerary context. It demonstrates how an innovative methodology, when applied to a challenging material, can produce new and exciting interpretations of archaeological sites and funerary contexts. The reader is introduced to the nature of burned human remains and the destructive effect that fire can have on the body. Subsequent chapters describe important cremation practices and sites from around the world and from the Neolithic period to the modern day. By emphasising the need for a robust methodology combined with a nuanced interpretation, it is possible to begin to appreciate the significance and wide-spread adoption of this practice of dealing with the dead"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aStudies in funerary archaeology ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aHuman remains (Archaeology) 606 $aCremation$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCremation$xSocial aspects$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFuneral rites and ceremonies, Ancient 606 $aDeath$xSocial aspects$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial archaeology 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology) 606 $aArchaeology$xMethodology 615 0$aHuman remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aCremation$xHistory 615 0$aCremation$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aFuneral rites and ceremonies, Ancient. 615 0$aDeath$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSocial archaeology. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aArchaeology$xMethodology. 676 $a930.1 702 $aThompson$b Timothy James Upton 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815418503321 996 $aThe archaeology of cremation$94033948 997 $aUNINA
