It interprets human remains from forty-eight caves and compares them to what we know of Neolithic collective burial elsewhere in Britain and Europe. It reviews the archaeology of these cave burials and treats them as important evidence for the study of mortuary practice. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, anthropology, osteology and cave science, the book demonstrates that cave burial was one of the earliest elements of the British Neolithic. It also shows that Early Neolithic cave-burial practice was highly varied, with many similarities to other burial rites. However, by the Middle Neolithic, a funerary practice which was specific to caves had developed. 606 $aNeolithic period$zGreat Britain 610 $aActor-network theory. 610 $aAgency. 610 $aBritain. 610 $aCave sedimentology. 610 $aCaves. 610 $aFunerary Archaeology. 610 $aNeolithic burial. 610 $aObject biography. 610 $aTaphonomy. 615 0$aNeolithic period 676 $a936.1 700 $aPeterson$b Rick$01201925 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824085503321 996 $aNeolithic cave burials$94099841 997 $aUNINA
