Reviews

Murphy has assembled 14 chapters of uniformly high quality demonstrating well the considerable diversity of Aegean communities' attitude towards death and the afterlife during Late Bronze age ... This volume will therefore have a lasting value, not just for the representativeness of these variations as well as regular and recurrent form of burial rites, but also for the high number of ground-breaking chapters on unpublished data. It deserves the attention of all those interested in issues in mortuary archaeology. * Laura Alvarez, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Journal of Greek Archaeology *
