In short, this book is a fascinating insight into death, burial practices and the importance of the body, as well as being a very useful research resouce. In its format and accessible writing style, it will also appeal to the general public, or anyone with a combination of genuine interest and understanding - not to mention macabre curiosity. * Antiquaries Journal * These two books reveal, through international case studies, the enormous variety of ways in which inhumation or cremation can occur and has taken place, and why that might have been so. * British Archaeology *
